Room with a view: Unfortunately my Sony Powershot fails to capture the details of the rooftops I can see for miles and miles. Today I sit idly, as nothing is open on Sundays save a few cafes. We are lunching soon, afterwards I might have to sip some coffee outside and continue reading Emma, which I am shamed to admit I have been neglecting since I've been here!
This evening we're meeting a couple girls at an internet cafe by their apartment to plan a trip to Greece in November. I'm just going along for fun (and because nothing's more exciting than vacation planning!) because I will (hopefully) be meeting the Arndt girls somewhere in Italy that weekend. Oh, and fear not, Lola (our program director), has a turkey dinner planned for us on Thanksgiving, what a charmer.
We don't start class til next week, so I feel like a bit of a deadbeat, but I suppose I'll try to enjoy the downtime before the chaos of studies and weekly excursions begins. This week we just have a 2 hr/day crash course in grammar, and tomorrow we are going exploring with Lola on bikes around town. Seville is a very bike-friendly city. For 13 Euros, we can buy a year's pass on their bike system. There are different points around the city (bike stations, if you will) where you simply take a bike and ride it wherever you want, as long as you drop it off at another station.
My Classes:
Spanish Art of the Golden Age
Spanish Realist Novel
Spanish Literature: Humanism to Cervantes
Contrastive Grammar: English-Spanish
Spanish Semantics
Good day!
