Last Week in Sevilla

Today is the start of my last week in Spain. Unfortunately I can't fully enjoy it because I have finals all week long. I had my cine one today. I think it went fine. I had to write about the image of women in Spanish film. Tomorrow is flamenco which I'm really nervous about, lit on Wednesday should be fine, and I've got my fingers crossed for my art history one on Thursday. This weekend I walked around Sevilla a lot. I checked out the area up the river, it's mostly sketchy. I saw a park where a bunch of gypsies were living. They had their laundry hung out and everything, I felt like I'd completely invaded their privacy. Oops. Last week we went to a club we'd never been to before. It was pretty fun, they kept on putting the fog machine on though and it was kind of hard to breathe. Oh well. I did some Christmas shopping as well. The shops here are getting crazy. They are packed and people can barely move. It's ridiculous, the Spanish really like their shopping. This week I'm going to try to get out for some tapas, I will miss the cheese here a lot. The girls at the other apartment are throwing a Christmas party this weekend too so that should be fun. A little taste of the holidays before I head home. They've turned on the Christmas lights here now so all the streets are lit up at night. It's really beautiful. It's been getting so foggy at night though. The other day we couldn't even see across the river. It was ridiculous. The humidity is crazy. Anyhow, I'm just going to try to enjoy this last week here and not waste too much of it studying or looking forward to seeing everyone at home! Miss you all! XOXO

Hi Krista:
Great to read your latest entry. We missed reading about you on your BLOG. Good knowing all is well with you. We sure look forward to seeing you, soon after your return. Been cold here, with a skiff of snow (not enough to use the snow-blower though). Clear sunny skies for the most-part. Good luck with all your finals this week,(as you know, luck has nothing to do with it).
Love, Grams & Pap
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Oh Jonsey, It has been such a joy hearing about all you have done the last three months. We will miss them but will enjoy the goings ons at Bellingham also. I am sure you will do well with all of your finals and just think of the education you have gotten with all of your travels. Why is the cheese so good there? I sure don't remember it but maybe we didn't have any. Will you be meeting Julia for the trip home? I am sure Daddy, Mama and Lizzy are counting the days until you are home. I hope you were not planning to go for a swim because it could be a little dry and hard. Pop is out running around on the "Bumble Bee" (Macks little 4 wheeler) He uses it to check the horses. We have been staying up late the last few night to watch the National Rodeo Finals. Jesse is not doing so very good. He has ridden 2 out of 4 horses. Good travels home. Can hardly wait to see you. I love you lots and lots. Gram

Hi Krista
I'm so glad you have shared your experiences with us. I feel like I have been there with you. When we were at your house over Thanksgiving Andrew had to sleep with your Teddy Bear because we left his in the car. Chloe loved your American dolls. I hope you don't mind. I bet you are so excited to get back home and see your family. Good luck on your tests this week and we will talk to you when you get back home.
Love Auntie Am
