İEl fin de enero!

     I'm sorry for not posting in a while!  I cannot believe today marks me being here for 4 weeks!  In a way, time has flown but I also feel like I have not been home in forever!  Last week was the last week of my intensive language course.  I had to give my tapas presentation on Wednesday for the oral part of our exam and it went really well!  At first when were assigned this project, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I'm really glad we had to do it now!  I discovered a lot of new tapas places that I will definitely visit again.  Thursday I had my final exam for the course, which counted as 70% of our grade, and I found out on Friday that I got an A on it!  I was really relieved about that and I'm very happy the class is over!  It wasn't my favorite class but I think I will just need to adjust to their style of classes.  They are a lot more laid back here and there isn't much structure, which is hard for me but I'm sure our real classes will have more structure.  Last week I ran in Parque Garcia Lorca every day and it was beautiful.  I went right after class and it was always super sunny and warm =] 

     This past weekend was pretty relaxing.  On Friday I went shopping a little and then went to a bar for tapas at night.  Saturday I enjoyed lunch with my family and then went out shopping and exploring with friends.  I was introduced to a frozen yogurt place that is just like red mango, but 10 times unhealthier.  hahaha that place is definitely going to be dangerous!  Saturday night a few friends and I went to a tetería in the albycin neighborhood.  It was so cute and I definitely want to go back there!  Yesterday I went for a long run in the morning and then went for a walk with Sarah in the afternoon.  It was a pretty relaxing weekend which was nice before my trip this week!

      My friends Marlee, Sarah, Katie and I are leaving super early tomorrow morning!  We will have to take a bus to Málaga, a plane to London, and then another plane to Prague.  We will spend two days in Prague and then take an overnight train to Krakow, where we will spend another two days!  I'm very excited because we're planning on getting a tour of Auschwitz when we're in Poland.  I can't believe I have the opportunity to see it!  We're coming back on Sunday night, but I will definitely blog about our adventures when I get back!  I can't believe I'm managing to fit all my stuff in just my backpack for the week...I'm a changed woman I guess!  Hasta Luego =]
