So this weekend was my last weekend here in the awesomeness of Sevilla, so me and my friends completely filled everyday with everything we’ve wanted to do but never got around to.
Thursday we went out for the night and enjoyed the nightlife of Sevilla. We eventually made it to a pretty cool dance club called Buddha that was pretty fun. After we left and got a taxi, it was pretty ironic because Laura saw someone getting in another taxi that she went to high school with, which is sooo random.
Friday we got up and tried to catch a bus to the outlets outside of the city, but the bus never came so we just went downtown instead. We went shopping at a cool store called Lefties, had some shwarmas, then went to the center of the city and shopping for a while. I headed back early to go running and shower before meeting with my intercambio (a student at the University that I meet with to practice Spanish).
We talked for a while and it was really funny because she has such a distorted view of the U.S. She was asking why I decided to study in Sevilla, and I told her how my school was associated with programs in Barcelona, Sevilla, and Granada, but Granada was too small and Barcelona was too dangerous, and she’s like, “But you live in the U.S.!!! That is WAY more dangerous!!” So I tried to explain to her that not everywhere is like New York City, but she still seems to think the U.S. is one big city.
After dinner, we headed out to a tetería (tea house), which was sooo cool. It was decorated all Moroccan with tapestries and cool beanbag things we sat on, and we hung out there until 1 or 2 or so. Our one friend’s host brother also came, so we got to use our Spanish with him for a while.
Saturday I got up, went running, then headed to the mall for a bit before going downtown for ice cream and then the Archeological Museum. Then we went to dinner at a Cuban restaurant and headed to a flamenco show. It was really hot and crowded, so we left a little early and headed home since we were tired anyway.
Sunday was kind of a catch-up day to do work, so I just stayed in and tried to study for a bit. Except it is extremely hard to concentrate because on one hand, I keep thinking about seeing my family in a couple days. And on the other, I keep thinking about how I’m going to have to leave here really soon, which I am not looking forward to. It does not feel like it has been an entire semester!!!! ¡Ay dios míos!
But anyway, this is all for now.
Paz fuera. (Peace out)

Of course the US is dangerous! Did you tell her about the bear that raids garbage in our development?
Mmm...shwarmas. And yeah, Europe is basically a million times more awesome than the States. But there ARE people you know in the U.S., so that can be a plus too...
