Granada

I feel like I'm right back where I started when I began writing this blog, back during orientation in Santiago de Compostela.  Today marks the beginning of second semester orientation, and this time we've headed down to Granada.  I was excited to go some place slightly warmer than Madrid, but apparently the weather gods have thwarted us and, what was merely a chilly breeze in Madrid, is a calm, but steady, snow storm down in Granada.  That being said, this is the first time I've seen snow stick since I got to Spain, so that's pretty!

It's kind of funny being the only student (until Abby gets here tomorrow) who was on the program last semester.  I find myself answering questions that I so wanted answered when I was first on orientation, and doing my best to not scare the new kids with horror stories about exams or the time I slept outside of Moncloa because I couldn't figure out how to get home!  (To think there was ever a time I didn't know how to get home from any part of the city at any time of day or night...)  I actually really do like playing this part because it's making me really reflect on my first semester, and marvel at how far I've come and how much I've learned.

Even our new director pulled me aside and asked me what phone brand everyone should purchase tomorrow!  Of course, I insisted on Yoigo.

Well, I don't have much to say so far.  I've only been with these people a few hours, and I'm sure any comments or observations I would make at this point would seem silly after I really get to know everyone in the next few days.

I just wanted to drop a line and say hola from Granada!

Un beso.
