the past week has been EXTREMELY busy, with running around city (literally) with laura and some other friends, exploring when we have time, and now going to class. classes aren´t too difficult so far, because the professors understand that spanish is our second language and don´t speak too quickly. my first class, cultural realities of spain, is on mondays at 1, while my second class is every day from 5:15 to 9:15 at night. at first the time was a little difficult to get used to, but now i´m ok with it, although it is EXTREMELY long.
today i´m going to visit italica, a bunch of roman ruins. this should be pretty awesome. then on saturday is carnival!! apparently everyone gets dressed up in costumes and parties the night away. i´m still looking for what i shall wear ...
some random cool things about sevilla you all should know:
1. the door knobs are in the center of the door
2. no one except americans sleeps during siesta
3. their coffee ROCKS and is way better than that wimpy american stuff
4. the city smells delicious from the orange trees lining all the streets
5. the weather is beautiful and it hardly ever rains
6. it´s apparantly really insulting to walk around without shoes on or even just socks (just found this out yesterday after a week of doing this)

So, girl, you're finally learning what God intended coffee to be like! We're going to get along better than ever when you get back. If I can pry you away from that annoying guy, that is. ;-)
And maybe I won't have to endure those smelly feet, either. I understand why they're insulting.
Mmm...oranges. They're good to counteract the smelly feet, I agree. And Roman ruins are awesome; let me know if you get a chance to check out anything Moor-ish; their buildings are awesome.
However, I'd have to wonder about the whole coffee thing. It can be good for waking up and such, but it's also been proven with male test subjects that it can cause mental instability. So you should be good, but other people really aren't, sadly. Luckily I'm immune.
So, Seth, now you have an explanation of my mental instability! ;-) Norah and Linda will be happy to know there is a reason.
Glad to be of some help.
