A Señorita in Salamanca

I'm setting out on the most terrifying three and a half months of my life, and I'm letting you come along for the ride.

It's been awhile.

Hey all...

I know it's been a long time since I last updated, stuff has been busy. I was in Paris for the long weekend, which was absolutely incredible. I'm in the process of uploading photos - those of you who get my Snapfish photos should already have them, and if Facebook weren't being absolutely infuriating and only letting me upload two photos at a time, those would be up too.

It was so great...we saw all of the sights - the Eiffel Tower, a visit during the day and up to the top at night (which I'd never done - SO MUCH better at night, fyi), the top of the Arc d'Triomph, the Louvre, Notre Dame, St. Denis, a day trip to Normandy, walking along the Seine, the Jardines Tuileries...gah! Haha, and it was so great to see Charlie and Shika and hear about Nova and Paris and everything that's happening with them. Definitely the most fun I've had in a very very long time.

Classes are going along here...I just realized yesterday that my midterms start next week, so I should probably start studying those. These are the first actual "exam" midterms I'm going to have had in forever - I have to go back to the memorizing thing, when I've gotten so used to papers! So hopefully those go well.

I'm hoping that I'll be going on a trip to the north of Spain this weekend with two of my friends here, if we can figure out transportation. Buses are proving to be difficult to come by. I went to an organ concert at the old University with one of those girls last night, which was really awesome as well. And I finally bought myself a USAL sweatshirt, haha - it's pink. Did anyone pass out from shock?

Anyway. I'll probably give up on Facebook uploading soon (it's taken me two hours to upload 66 pictures, when I can usually upload 120 in 10 minutes or less) and head over to Spanish class. Then back home for lunch, and probably going to meet Whitney's mom and stepdad (they're here visiting and then they're all going to Germany this weekend). One class in the afternoon, and I might go to one of the Latin dance clubs here tonight, El Sabor. Depending on whether I'm getting on a bus at dawn, haha.

Love you and miss you all - comments or emails or other forms of saying hi would most definitely be appreciated.
