Can you tell school and life is getting hectic??


Hello everyone!
Things are getting pretty busy so I'm just going to throw up my photos from London, Portugal and I will get my most recent ones up of this past weekend in a few days.

London was fabulous, though cold, as usual. Lagos, as I wrote, was a gong as usual. This weekend I rented a bike again and toured around the city. Then I went to Cadiz, a lovely coastal town with quite a history and quite a cathedral, for the day by myself for an excursion. I took the two hour train and climbed up the famous cathedral bell tower whose views you will be gushing over. Then I went to a party on Saturday night and today, Sunday, I went to my first Spanish league soccer game. Though Sevilla lost, the game was great and I picked up a few new swear words to add to my vocabulary.

A brief word on school, so that you know that I'm still going: My five courses are as follows: 1. History of Spanish Art (in Spanish), History of Spanish Cinema After the Democracy (in Spanish), Spanish for Business (Spanish), Translation (Spanish) and History of the European Union (in English, with a lovely British bloke who is a great prof). Classes are picking up and the workload is infringing upon my liberal travel schedule but so far classes are good, profs are good and my mexi-spanish is being understood, so I have no complaints.

I will post more later, but that's what I've been up to the last few weeks! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Gobble gobble, friends. I even had jello salad- and you know how important that is!

(shut up. you all left me here to fend for myself in this bloody conservative hell, I can brag about the only thing I've got going for me at this dark moment...)
