Yes its true. Carlie Frisch went into shock mode when she was finally able to meet her new family and empty her bags into drawers. No more hostels and ham/cheese combinations from the super-market. (Sorry Emily) Life here has been pretty awesome. My first weekend here a bunch of friends and I went to Cadiz! This gorgeous beach town where we were the only ones on the beach. Go figure that Spaniards wouldn't want to hand at the beach for 5 months! Very relaxing first few days.
Then I had to start class which was kind of confusing... Going abroad to study???? O now I get it.... Yes a little inconvenient, but it keeps me off the streets/Away from Zara and Mango. Right now I am taking Spanish Literature, Business Spanish, Grammar, and Art in Andalusia. So far my favorite is the art class just because I think my teacher is impressed with my spanish history knowledge I learned from Ghosts of Spain.... Thank you Santander.....
This past weekend went to Lagos, Portugal. Was known for being the "end of the world." Modern day definition is sitting on a beach, drinking and eating the most amazing hamburger I have had to date. Pretty fun to just get to know more people and celebrate my roommate's 22nd birthday... So fun!
What Else.. I did get mistaken for a Spaniard the other day... I helped this older couple with directions and the man was surprised I spoke English..... Yes because I don't have a sticker that says AMERICAN on my forehead... I have been using a lot of my spanish, but living in Sevilla is different than Satander...
First off they have an accent that disallows them to say words clearly. Second, people in Sevilla are so much more fun and liberal. Third, No Beach 50 ft from my apartment. :( Forth, Completely different food. Lots of lentils, garbanzos and it seems to me that their dishes are normally heavier. I will follow up with more details of the differences soon!
Trying to get used to the fact that I'm here, here for awhile! Can't believe I am finally living the "Spanish Life."
