La Alhambra!



Well, I survived my first week of class!  I barely made it waking up so early but I survived! haha Also, yesterday I wasn't feeling too well and my host mom comforted me a lot and brought me chocolate.  We got SO lucky with this family, I'm so thankful for where I am living!  I'm also thankful for my real mom and patrick making me feel better yesterday also!  Thank goodness for skype :) Today, we visited the Alhambra, which is a HUGE castle built in the 11th century.  It was so pretty and we got to see amazing views of the city from the top of it!  We walked for like 5-6 hours so it was pretty exhausting but it was definitely worth it!  Definitely a place I want to take my parents when they visit!  After we got back, our third roommate came!  She is from U of I and is soo nice, I'm really excited!  After siesta time I just went for a run in the park with my friend Hillary and it felt really good!  I just skyped with Bethie, Delia and Richie too!  I can always count on them for a million laughs!  Tonight after dinner we're gonna go out for some tapas!  I'm enjoying being busier now because the beginning was a little slow before classes started.  I love having a busy schedule!  We only have two more weeks of this course and then it's time for traveling during winter break! I hope everyone is enjoying all the snow at home :) I'm extremely jealous of it!  I'm still missing everyone a LOT from home but I feel SO much more comfortable here as the days go on :)
