February 22, 2010!

So for anyone actually coming and reading this as I'm posting things, things are going quite well continuously! I'm able to get more and more settled in as time goes by, and getting used to living here for slightly over 4 more months. I can't believe that i've already been here almost a month! I've gotten to see so much, and bask in the beauty of the awesome things here in Spain, its historical background, the modern parts, and meeting people to learn more about the neat culture.

I love the cathedral the most really, with all the small details on it, and just looking so full of history! Its so big too which makes it even cooler to see! There's so much inside too, the crypt of saint james, and since I haven't been in tons of catholic churches, but this for sure is just breathtaking pretty much. all the different little statues and biblical scenes and detailing of the church is just awesome.

The thing that surprises me most about the city,that I did read before coming here, was how much of a university town it really is. There are students everywhere from tons and tons of different places. all over Europe, I have now friends from France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Mexico, and the list can go on!

The climate here is the most downer part sometimes, because we have some beautiful sunny and fairly warm days but then its not unusual to turn for the worst and go back to gloomy, rainy, and slightly more cold. however its always about 10 degrees celcius which equals to about 50 degrees farenheit. Which is of course better than good ol wisconsin! ;)

I can't wait to do more traveling and everything around europe, and more in even Spain alone. I have felt myself growing more and more confident all the time in my spanish which is of course one of the serious main goals of mine while being here but I find it awesome that it's actually happening.

Well honestly today is a lazy day, taking care of school things, trying to stay dry, aside from a trip to the grocery store in a bit. Classes start tomorrow so i'll probably wait until after the classes to post how things are tomorrow, so stay tuned :)

love and besos!
