Sorry I haven't really posted much this week. Not to say that I have been incredibly busy, because I haven't been, but it has been a hectic week for me. But let's see, the big events of this week...
I finally found the public library here in Sevilla. Of course, for those who really know me, that is an amazing thing. It means that I have more books to read!! We do have a small selection of books that we can check out from our program's office, but it is a VERY limited selection. So I'm really excited about being able to have a larger selection of books -- and they have lotssss of books in English. :) Plus it is literally right behind the University. Which means during my 2 hour break on Thursdays I can go and get a little reading/studying/homework done.
I also survived my first pop quiz in a Spanish university class - Social and Cultural Anthropology. We aren't really sure if the quizzes are grade or if they are merely for the purpose of us being present in class to take them - but I think it's the latter of the two. I'm pretty sure I remember our professor telling us on the first day that the quizzes were only to help our grade in the end - as in, when giving us a final grade for the class he references our quizzes. Good news is that it's very likely that our entire grade is based on a paper for that class (since we won't be here to take the exam with the class in February). Which means I'll be able to work on the paper from now until December and hopefully get a wonderful grade on it!
I had lunch with Paola and a friend that she met, Jessica, on Thursday afternoon. We went to my favorite place in Sevilla - Taberna Coloniales. It's the one that has the great food that I put pictures up of a while back. It was nice to be able to get to know both of them and we had a really great time eating, talking, and laughing together. Hopefully we can make it a weekly happening! :)
Tonight Camilla and I are meeting up to play cards. We both don't really feel like doing much of anything, but kind of just want to get out of the house for a little while. So that'll be nice.
Tomorrow Paola and I are going to either the Fine Arts Museum or the Royal Alcazar (that I went to a while back with my program--we just didn't get to see it all!). Definitely very excited about that. I'll hopefully get to go shopping for a little while after that and then will probably spend the rest of the day working on law school applications. Okay, not probably...definitely. I hope to submit Campbell's, Duke's, and Central's tomorrow or Sunday at the latest. Then I'll submit Carolina's by next weekend. Pray that I get in to wherever God wants me to be!
Buena suerte con tus aplicaciones de la escuela para ser una abogada. Lo siento, pero no se como se dica "law school applications" en espanol. Espero que tengas un buen fin de semana! Vas a tener mucho exito en tu carrera profesional. Te amo y te extrano MUCHO!
