Student Blogs/Ali in Spain
Yet again, I was saving writing a post for a rainy day mostly because this February weather is much too nice to spend cooped up inside. My Canadian people will probably be scratching their heads at that because it’s been ranging from cold to really cold back home while here, it’s been a very nice 5-14 degrees Celsius. Not only is it raining today (and for the rest of the week), but it also snowed early February!! Yes! Real, fluffy, white snow! Funny story about that coming up soon!
In my last post, I divided my experience into 3 categories; school, travel and other. Considering the semester is only one month in, I don’t have much to say other than exams were hard and I’m really enjoying my courses this semester. So instead, I’ll go by month and pick only the best for you to read about. So as usual, grab a snack and get really comfy!
Note: I will be posting individual blog posts for each of the trips because there is waaaay too much information to put in one post.
As I mentioned, I’ll be writing mini posts about the individual trips if you’d like to get a deeper sense of the places I’ve visited. Cordóba and Sevilla has been my favourite trip so far but I’ve planned a trip to Italy and Portugal in the coming months so who knows!
To future BIB explorers; I’m not going to lie to you, these past few months have been really tough; saying goodbye to good friends, missing all the birthdays in my family, starting fresh, and leaving my family and friends (again) after Christmas to be alone again. I was told about this by the people before me and I’m telling you now; it does get better- the loneliness is only temporary. My advice is to find something to look forward to, no matter the size, to help you get out there and make the most of it. If you can’t find something, make something happen.
Life’s what you make it, so let’s make it rock – Hannah Montana y’all!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity so get out there and make your future self proud to say you did it!
To my loving and supportive friends and family; daaaang I miss you guys. Thank you to everyone who made my Christmas and New Years so special. I am safe, happy, healthy and enjoying all Spain has to offer me. I love you all so much and in a few short months, I’ll be back to make your lives crazy again! So enjoy the peace and quiet; it wont last forever ?
