“Barcelona” So sorry I haven’t written in a while, but I had a CRAZY weekend in Barcelona with all of my St. Thomas friends and am now, currently, taking a study break from our first exams in Spain. Don’t get me wrong, I have been having an absolute BLAST over here, almost too hard to study when I look outside and it is 75 and sunny with an entire city to explore right outside of my door! So far, exams are going really well! Aced 3 of them, after stu...

I tried to explain that I haven’t had a boyfriend but that I AM interested in men. When you joke about there being “no guys out there for me” they DEFINITE...

"Señora Aurora y su perro Malla" So the entire time that I was writing my first blogs, my mom (who always helps me realize my faults), kindly reminded me that I didn't give you guys any info on where I am living and what it's like! So here it goes... I live with a woman named Aurora. She is the epitome of a Sevilla woman. Although she is much younger than expected (57 or so), she is a lot like Grandma Jo. Not in the ornery, rude, or misspoken way...
