Sorry I've been off-grid for a little while.  The past two days have not been super exciting so I'll keep this post relatively short.  My first day of classes was yesterday and I can tell that I'm really going to enjoy them.  There are only other UNC students in my classes so we are all on the same level in terms of our speaking skills.  I am taking a class about Spanish Art and a class about Spanish Grammar and Composition.  I am particularly excited about the art class because I have never studied anything like it before.  Both classes are taught completely in Spanish, but the professors make it very easy to follow along.  Tonight, we had to listen to a presentation about the different festivals that occur in Seville throughout the year; this was also neat to learn about. 
I also get to go on a tour of the Cathedral in Seville (which is the third largest in the world after The Vatican and St. Paul's in London) on Thursday.  Colombus' tomb is part of that tour so I am super excited to see that. 
My friends and I have planned our first weekend trip to Cadiz, Spain this coming weekend and not that all of the planning and logistics are complete, it is so nice to finally be able to relax and get excited about the trip!

I'll try to keep the blog updated as frequently as possible!
