Spain is amazing. I know I have only been here a week but it somehow simultaneously feels longer and shorter. So far, the sights have been beautiful and everyone on the trip has been so sweet. My roommates are amazing. I only knew one of them and had briefly met two more but we all get along so great which is all o could really ask for. We?ve had a couple of family meals which are very fun. I am adding a picture of me and three of the said roommates. 🙂 The days are long but I didn?t expect myself to actually line up with simple things like eating late. Also, there is so much walking which I kind of love. So environmentally conscious with all the public transport and everything but my feet do hurt a little. The program is fun and efficient. Our professors are both so great to talk with. I also do love the places we have gone so far. It?s so cool to see more of the city, even if just by myself. The views are amazing. I added a picture of one of the views from an optional hike. The hike was fun and maybe a bit difficult but was so so worth it. I definitely had so much fun and got to know the others that went a bit better–we even got ice cream after. Speaking of the views, we are right next to the Sagrada Familia which is so cool to see every day. I do love how the girls are all together but wish everyone could be in the same building or at least close. I am so excited to keep exploring and learning more about Spanish culture and even take a trip or two of my own on the weekends. It is my first time in Europe so I want to get as much out of it as possible while being respectful to all locals. I want to get a deeper understanding of the culture by living it kind of. I also like that it goes hand in hand with classes actually about Spain, like international business. All in all, I?m excited to see where this trip takes me and how I?m going to grow. I?m excited to learn more and have lots and lots of fun!
