Well, I'm done with midterms. I think they went well, maybe, hopefully. I had three, novel, film and art history and they were all essay exams which I feel like I'm pretty decent at. My roommates and I studied our buns off for the art history one. We wanted to prove to the butthead professor that Americans aren't worthless. We'll see how that goes. I'm completely wiped out from the effort though. I think I'm just going to curl up with a movie tonight, and maybe some popcorn too!
I'm sitting in the Java Cafe which is around the corner from my flat. It's this stylish little cafe/bar that has free wireless Mondays-Thursdays as long as it's not a holiday. I like it here better than the internet place, plus I get coffee or Coke here. I've just finished with my painting class. I think I'm done with my pomegranate painting. It was pretty awful at the beginning but I think it's turned out alright. I would maybe considering showing it to people. The other students in my class are so talented. They're mostly middle aged women, so maybe it's just that they've had more time to practice. There's also a younger guy, maybe high school-ish and sometimes he just comes and stands behind me and watches me paint. I really don't like it at all. Oh well. I was dreading going to class today because I was so tired, but I'm really glad I went and I feel a lot better now that I've accomplished something.
Tomorrow I'm off to Rome. Sometimes I can't believe this is actually my life. I'll be staying with Sarah (who went to Sweden with me) and her Italian boyfriend for the weekend. I'm hoping to get a basic tour of the city and to eat some delicious food! It will be nice to have a little break from Sevilla so I can appreciate it more when I come home. Two of my roommates are doing a huge pilgrimage this weekend. El camino de Santiago. They just walk for 20 km a day and stay in these little, I don't even know what, boarding houses I guess. I'm really excited for them and wish I could have gone too. I'll let you know what they think of it though.
Can't wait for this weekend and next weekend in Paris and then to have my family here!!!! It's going to be amazing! Hope all is well back in the States!
XOXO

You are amazing girl! I'm so happy for you that you are able to do this. Have fun this weekend, next weekend, and when your family comes. We miss you lots!
Love Auntie Am
Dear Jonesy, Hope you are having a wonderful week-end. Did you ever think you would be seeing so much of the world? You are one awesome person. When I grow up I want to be just like you. It won't be long now until your family will be there. You will all have so much fun. What is the weather like there? What season is it? We are having a great fall. Pop, Uncle Mikie, and all their buds are leaving on Tue. to go elk hunting. Trac is not coming this year but his friend Peter is. Guess he did not draw a permit. Uncle Dave Auntie Am and the kids are coming for Thanksgiving. The kids are bummed out that your folks won't be home when they come thru. Take good care of yourself and have fun. I love you lots and lots Gram
