well class is going great. got sum stuff going on back home that i need to really try to keep my mind off and just focus on school and getting better acclimated to my surrounding around here. this is by far the biggest city i have ever lived in and its at times overwhelming. a lot of people that have never been outside of the US really dont understand how different of a ball game it is up here. anyhow, i am taking international relations, international marketing, international finance, the european union and cross cultural management. so it is certainly quite a full slate and can ill afford to get off track. i absolutely love learning about how the world works and seeing things from a non american persepctive. i am infatuated with the working of the greater world outside the US and particularly here in Europe. That alone makes it very easy to learn about those subjects and it makes it even harder to miss class, tho that is a huge temptation here considering campus is a 2 minute walk to the beach. i have gotten to know some people here a little bit from the states which has been great. i have met people from all over our country in the states as well as people from all over the world. knowing only one or two languages around here is like uncommon, you have to know like 5. the daughter of the lady i live with knows 5 different languages, these bartenders i have gotten to know from latvia know 6 different languages (latvian, russian, french, english, spanish and german), its crazy. i love hearing all the differnt things going on here even tho i have no clue what mostly is said. the amount of culture and history in this area is incredible. so i dont have class on fridays which marks the beginning of my 3 day weekend. we are supposed to be going to ronda tomorrow, which i might do not sure yet. i do know in 2 weeks i will be in barcelona to watch my favorite team and player! (david villa and barca) as well as to see what that city is like. i plan on doing some extensive travel as long as my budget permits it. i have booked a flight to paris and barca so far and want to go to milan rome sicily and possiby amsterdam. but stuff can be expensive and i need to be careful as i wasnt granted with an unlimited amount of money to have here. anyhow, i have lunch here soon and will go to the beach after. there is only one thing i miss about the US and she knows what it is but i really cant afford to be thinking about it. anyhow, hasta luego chicos! hasta la proximo vez!
