Mi corazon.

We went to the Alhambra today through the school (so it was cheaper and one of the professors came to give us a tour) and some of the views were magnificent! And it was in the 50's and sunny so it was perfect. I fell in love with the city. The pictures I took can't capture it. And I mean sure I've seen similar views or ones that I liked better on my Europe trip but it made me appreciate Granada. We got off to a bad start since it was cold, rainy, and we were almost completely on our own. But yeah it made me remember why I came to study here and makes the negative points seem more worthwhile.

Last night, Liz, Gloria, and I met up with the two Spanish guys we met and two more of their friends. There was a mix up with being at the same store but different places. The one they went to was actually closer to our place but we haven't explored that side of town - just the area along the route we take to go to school. So anyways we went out for tapas and had a good time. I didn't talk much because the whole Spanish thing plus me being shy in general. But hopefully we'll do something with them again and we'll have more time so they can show us around Granada. It's really funny teaching them how to say American things and when they try to make Spanish jokes and we don't get them. And it's interesting to compare our different customs.

Tonight we're going to the chupeteria before heading to Granada 10 to celebrate Gloria's birthday. I'm sure tomorrow will consist of sleeping in, going for a little run, talking on skype, doing my homework, and going to bed.

So I lied about St. Patrick's day being right before spring break. It's the weekend before. But I think we're still planning on going to Ireland. Then I don't know when, but we all want to go to Greece sometime when it's warmer out so we can swim.

Alright well my battery is running low and I'll probably head back home soon.
