I have a home! It's very little and I have to share a room, but it's a home! It looks exactly like it's straight out of an IKEA catalog. It's crazy. Lola, my senora, is adorable. She has bright red hair and comes to bring us food three days a week. I live with three other American girls who seem really nice so far. Today we took a tour of the university which actually used to be a tobacco factory, the factory in which Carmen, from the famous opera, worked. Cool, huh? Anyway, the school is 501 years old!!!! Ridiculous, right? It looks like the Davenport Hotel inside. I'm absolutely in awe of everything. It's about a 25 minute walk from my apartment, which is in Triana, an old gypsy neighborhood, to the school which is in el centro. I have to cross the river on a bridge which is beautiful and then walk along the river under a canopy of trees, really it's a canopy. We don't have to be anywhere until Monday morning when we're taking a biking tour of Sevilla. I'm excited. We have intensive languages classes in the evening next week and a few more sights to see. Classes start on the 24th and I'm getting nervous. It's kind of hard to understand the Spanish here. I really need to practice more which sometimes makes me wish I'd chosen to live with a family because we're mostly speaking English in the apartment. Some people are going to the beach this weekend, but I just want to stay here and explore what could be the most beautiful city I've ever seen. Did I mention I walk past the bullring on my way to school? I don't feel like this is real yet. It's great though!
