So I guess it has been awhile since I checked in so now is as good a time as ever I suppose. It's Sunday night and I'm just sitting in bed listening to music (the boy band "Five" just came on and I suddenly feel very ill, hang on while I turn this off, ahh much better). This weekend was super low key. I spent Thursday and Friday nights out with friends and Saturday I spent in a small town closer to the coast called Ronda. It's a very pretty town that over looks a huge gorge that a river flows through into a valley. It is mostly touristy shops with wine, cheese, and sausages, but it has a beautiful church where I got to put my "Art History" skills to work. It was actually kind of fun getting to use what I learned in class to determine time periods and styles that I wouldn't have known anything about a month ago. So my friend Nic and I walked around all day looking at different places, and got to see the place where they have the bull fights in Ronda but mostly just enjoying the sun and got home about 8pm.





Granada has been rainy and cold and awful for pretty much the last 4 weeks. We'll get one day of relief then it becomes 40 degrees and rains for 4 days straight. I think that explains a lot of the mind state I was in when I wrote my last post. They warn you before you go abroad that it will happen, but I didn't really see it coming. Anyways moral of the story is that I'm feeling better and I've come to the conclusion that my whole life needs some "friend" cleaning. I figure I shouldn't waste my time on anyone who doesn't let me be me or at least try and make me a better person. I understand that the difficult people are the ones that teach you lessons, but I think I've already learned the lessons that these people have to offer me, forgive me if I move on.Exams are coming up and I'm starting to study, then I'm off to Nerja for spring break for a bit of (hopefully hot) beach time. I'll try and post again sooner than later.
Hope all is well with you guys! Love you all
