Study Abroad

Loco. Crazy. Tres semanas mas. Three weeks more. How did this happen? My mom told me how excited she is, and I am of course excited to see her but I’m actually freak out thinking about it. Tengo vida aqui. I have a life here. I really have to take advantage of every opportunity I […]

This past week has really been an adventure getting to know my wonderful, warm señora, Ana, better. Her daughter, Lucia, came down from Barcelona to visit this past Sunday, so Ana asked if I wanted to go out with them to a Plaza to buy tapas with her, her sister, her daughter, and her niece. […]

I finally, finally saw a Flamenco show this past week with Katie when she visited. It was amazing, and now I want to become a Flamenco dancer, even though I found out these professionals have been dancing since they’ve started walking (which is not exactly my skill level). I never realized the passion, the intensity, […]

Last week marked the beginning of my three hundred hour internship – Whew! I can say that starting this week, I am definitely feeling the fatigue of the language barrier getting to me, as I spend the majority of my days at either one of my two internships. One of them is working in hydrotherapy […]

As of today, I have officially been living in Paris for three weeks. I already know how much I am going to miss this city when I leave. Sometimes I will be walking around and pass by all the amazing monuments and remind myself that I may never have this opportunity again. Every day I […]

Is really true that time flies waaaaay too fast. It has been a while since I have blogged..so busy! Lets see, since the last time I have been to Jaco beach for a nice relaxing weekend! Yo fui a visitar Los primos de me padre en Estrellios. Esta cerca de playa Jaco..es muy Bonita y […]

I cannot believe that it has officially been one month since I arrived in Lyon. That means I only have about two and a half months left in France which is unreal. Last night one of my friends from my program came over to have dinner with me and my host family. We were trying […]

My second week in Paris is coming to a close and so far, so good. My cours pratique (language class) met every day this past week and on Friday I had my first phonetics class, where we practice our oral French. Both phonetics and my cours pratique will meet each day this week and my […]

Today I went on a group excursion to Belgium with CEA. We visited a small town on the northern coast called Bruges. The town is ancient and has a lot of historical relevance, for example it is nearly 2000 years old and was an important European trade center in the Middle Ages. Belgium, as we […]
