Spain has been very american lately bc of the mass influx of tourists. Weather has been rainy but cool, which is a welcomed change. Last weekend we headed to the beach and enjoyed the waves. The water was better than i thought it´d be, u know, once my body had gone somewhat numb. It was the first time id been swimming at the beach with toby so i ( Read more... )

Amsterdam could not have been a better experience. Toby, court, amy and i even got along and didnt fight at all. We got there without any probs and quickly figured out their amazing tram system tho everytime i crossed the street i worried about being hit/killed by a fuckin tram car bc all the tracks are on the streets. Amsterdam itself is ( Read more... )

The past week has possibly been the craziest and most enjoyable. Last monday we went to o´neils for a night cap and had some pints. it was the coolest irish pub complete with a huge organ straight out of phantom of the opera. it was a very interesting place worthy of checking out. Tues: toby, amy and i were walking out of university and we decided ( Read more... )

As usual, spain is great and i have few complaints overall. Yet, my talk with toby on our way to class kinda bothered me. she pointed out that 2 people had looked at me confused, as if trying to figure out if i was a boy or a girl. mainly bc i was wearing a beanie bc its actually cold in sevilla this week. ive changed little from last semester but ( Read more... )

Another sunny day in sevilla, tho its sorta of bothering my eyes bc i drank a lot yesterday and i feel kinda off and slow. So yesterday was tobys surprise bday party. as usual, i´m so dorky awkward and have the worst luck. i was supposed to go on a stroll with her so that everyone could get to the apartment and then surprise her when we got back. i ( Read more... )

Last night i went to calle Betis with a group of friends. calle betis is a street that is lined with american bars so sketchy spaniards tend to go and try to get some ass. i swore i´d never venture but i figured i´d rather see it and then decide to hate or like it. went to big bens which is the central bar. and yeah it was so lame. its just a bar ( Read more... )

I´m sitting in the computer lab listening to beyonce sing ¨say my name.¨ i hate that all of europe hates but idolizes a lot of american influence. its a strange mix. they think were dumb bc of bush but they love coke and starbucks more than jesus himself. makes me content bc we all know i love my caramel frapps. on to spain, start classes monday- i ( Read more... )

Been living in my apartment in sevilla for like 5 days. its been surreal and great. its funny how little accomplishments like getting around the city on ur own by using a map makes u feel proud. thank christ i know to use one bc its imposisble to know where ur going in such a big place. Lets see- the university is fuckin gorgeous. its essentially a ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today i spent sitting on the beach, enjoying the warm weather and sun. I´m now at costa del sol. its a tourist trap for the rich, like a small scale ibiza. The medit ocean is beautiful tho the water is still a bit too chilly to go swimming in. It was great to relax and just play in the waves/sand and read/write. i wish sevilla was on ( Read more... )
