This last weekend was pretty much my last weekend here in Seville before I come back to the states. I have one more at the beginning of December, but it is just before finals, so I wouldn't be able to travel anyways. This weekend I will be in Barcelona, then to Paris, then Tangier, and then Madrid. I will also be spending about 4 or 5 days in London before my flight home.
We had several birthdays this past weekend that we celebrated. So a lot of our time was just spent chilling by the river. It is the most beautiful sight at night. On one of our outings we met the futbol team from Betis as well as some Seville basketball players. We tried to speak our best Spanish and get free tickets...but so far we have come up empty handed. Darn it :).
Spain has just recently started celebrating Halloween. The only thing is that they understand it as a scary and gory holiday. They don't know that it can be happy as well, and that you can be clowns, and princesses and animals. Everyone that dressed up were either zombies, witches, or bloody in some way. But they are getting the hang of it. None of us dressed up to much. I bought a princess crown...but that was the extent of my costume.
My classes have been pretty tough lately. My literature class just requires a lot of reading and translating. In my culture class we have had several presentations about events and celebrations that take place in Seville. We also watch movies, and then interpret and discuss them...in Spanish of course :).
However, I finished my internship last week!! 70 hours!! So now I will finally have my afternoons free to explore the city and do all the things that I just didn't have time for!
Since I can see the finish line ahead, I get more homesick everyday. But at the same time I know that as soon as I step foot in Dallas, I am going to want to come right back. So I am trying to take every opportunity to make my last 5 weeks amazing!
