Today was a historical morning, as Carlos and I ate breakfast together for the first time. He eats three pieces of plain toast. We watched Ninja Turtles (side note: Carlos is 31). Last night, Carmen told me he is moving to his own apartment, so next semester she wouldn't mind hosting three students. Awk..I thought we were going to have the housing talk where I tell her I'm living in an apartment for sure. I was not in the mood for that since yesterday my Spanish skills seemed to be down. I've had a headache the past couple of days, and I think I'm getting sick.
On a lighter note, I think I found my dream apartment! I'm waiting for the landlady to reply to my e-mail so I can see if it's even available for the months I need it. The location is perfect. It's right on this enormous plaza called Alameda de Hercules, in the north-central region of town. It's probably about a 30 minute walk to school, but since I'll be in charge of meals I can work out my schedule so I only make the trek once a day. Besides, the walk is very pleasant and goes along a long road through the heart of the city. Alameda is a cute little neighborhood, a little more gritty than Triana because it's where all the student live. The plaza is lined with bars and cafes, and there's even a theater and stage in the center. It's also closer to el Parque de Alamillo, the biggest park in Sevilla, which is perfect for running. Here's a couple pics:
