¡¡Hola a todas!! Well, next week is finals week and my FINAL week in Spain!  I can’t believe how fast time has flown by over the last four months! I am procrastinating studying for finals (by writing this blog) because I don’t want to accept the fact that classes have ended and I have to pack and head home once they are over! Of course, that’s not the best strategy for doing well on finals! Haha I have finished all my classes, topping them off with...

My weekend here starts on Thursdays; there are no classes at IES on Fridays. So Thursday night, we went to a new discoteca called El Principe. We had a fun time but didn’t get home till 5 am, so we slept pretty late the next day catching up. Friday started off the real weekend with Dia de ...

I started Semana Santa on Friday by heading to Barcelona with 6 other friends from my program. We left Granada around 10 pm wi...

Salam uaalikum! For the last five days, I took up Arabic (I have learned all of ten words)!! I just got back to Granada yesterday after a whirlwind trip to Morocco! It was by far my favorite trip yet and I am so happy I was fortunate enough to go. The trip was through my school and was led by a program called Morocco Exchange. It was a very well put together program that showed us not just tourist sights, but it really let us live like a Moroccan for a few days...
