Hey everyone!


Sorry it has taken me a week to update!!! I thought about updating about 239751 times, but I never got around to it!!! 


Last weekend I just stayed in Toledo. I only left the house for about an hour on Saturday to go for a walk! It was nice to just relax and stay inside a bit though. Traveling takes it out of a person!!!  I didn't have school yesterday so that was nice!!! Today I have gone for two, hour long walks and watched a movie! Pretty productive I would say :)


School was plain, old school this week. Nothing too fancy happened....I only have 11 more school days before finals week :) Can you believe that??? I sure can't :) Finals week just happened to fall on the week of my birthday....I actually have one the day of my birthday :( Happy birthday to me! My spring break is actually after finals week (weird right?!?!). I have actually been telling people that this whole trip has been like a Spring Break. School has been so easy it is kind of a joke sometimes!!! As of right now, I am staying in Spain and I will be traveling in Andalucia ( the "state" in the south of Spain). Spain actually doesn't have states. They are called autonomous communities. Brittany and I plan to make it to Cadiz, Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, and Malaga all before making it back home. We have about 12 days to travel so that shouldn't be a problem!!


My internship went great this week! I was with one of the doctors. She was great! I asked her if she spoke English and she told me no, but then she started speaking PERFECT English! I couldn't believe it! So we spoke in English most of the day, which was a nice break! She could speak English better than Brock can!!! 


I gave my final presentation for my internship class on Tuesday. So I am basically done with that class! All I have to do is show up until we are finished!!! I actually can't believe how easy school is here!!! I will have a rude awakening when I get home and have my toughest year ahead of me :( I am finding it really difficult to plan my classes from over here....Good thing my teachers at SNC are really good about reading their emails and getting back to me quickly!! Hopefully everything will work out...Like my dad would say, it always does work out!


Tomorrow I am going to Madrid for the Taylor Swift concert! I find it funny that I come to Spain and see a Taylor Swift concert!!! HA HA HA!! I am only staying the night and will be back to Toledo on Sunday afternoon. Next weekend my friend, Ali, is coming to Madrid for the weekend. She will be working in Amsterdam and decided to fly home through Madrid to come and visit me!! Once again, I have to come to Spain to see my American friends :) Next Sunday, the 27th I will be going to a bullfight! I enjoyed the first one I saw two years ago, so I am excited to see this one...I am not sure how my friend will react to seeing it....but we shall see!!!


I met Arturo's girlfriend tonight....Let's just say I am glad it wasn't Brock's girlfriend!!! She didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed or the brightest crayon in the box (by saying that, does it make me a bad person?!?!?)....I was asking her simple questions (and I don't think my Spanish speaking skills are THAT bad) and she didn't understand what I was saying. I asked her how are you, do you want something to eat, and do you speak English.....All three questions she was like ahhhhhhh what....Arturo even commented by saying, "Well apparently she can't even speak Spanish much less English!!!" Classic Arturo comment!!!


I just got off the phone with my mom. They are coming home from Arkansas tomorrow! She also told me that Brock got his birthday present I sent OVER A MONTH AGO!!! I thought it was a lost cause, but now I am soooooo happy it finally got home!! That teaches me not to give up hope in our mail system!!! All I have to say is, Brock you better like your birthday present for all the stress it put me though!!!!


I think that is about it for my exciting Toledo adventure thus far! I will post pictures from the concert when I get home on Sunday (just for you Carli)!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their spring break weeks and if your have spring break is this coming up week, please enjoy and be safe!!!


Have a great weekend!!! I miss everyone tons :) I will be home very soon!!!! Is anyone keeping a count down the days yet?!?!? Mom and Morgan your countdowns don't count because you guys have been counting down since BEFORE I even left!!! Mom is just sad that I can't talk to her 5 times a day and Morgan misses my cooking and cleaning :) 


Besos y abrazos de España!!!
