Almost time for Carnival...

This week has been a pretty good week. On Monday we had a great bible study and awesome worship time, and afterwards I went to an intercambio session at the HUGE Irish Pub here in Sevilla called "Flaherty's". Basically, these intercambio sessions consist of 20 or 30 students, Spanish, German, English, American, etc., and we try to communicate with eachother in whatever language we are trying to learn (so usually Spanish for us foreigners, English for the Spaniards). These intercambios are fun because you get to meet so many awesome people.

Tuesday was alright. I was feeling pretty sick because I had this weird mouth ulcer/canker sore thing on what looked like my tonsil. That wasn't fun at all. I didn't even get to play basketball!

Wed. we had a quiz over the Imperfect Past Tense in Spanish. Our class rocked it up! Of course, imperfecto is much easier than preterito. We had our weekly get together at TGIFriday's that evening, talked a lot, and then David and I went home to study for our test the next day.

Thursday was test day, and the test was alright. Some parts of it, like conjugations, descriptions, and other things were good and easy. Then there was the food section. And that was a KILLER. I had never heard of some of those foods in my life. I digress... After the test yesterday we had travel writing class, and that was a nice pick-me-up! Our travel writing class is planning a really cool public reading series that starts this next Wednesday. It is being held in our building, and is basically a chance for us students in the wiritng class to read some of our essays we have been working on to the public (other student at TTUSevilla and Spaniards as well!). The coolest part is, after the readings, we are having a reception with free wine (thank you Texas Tech) and we will be two-stepping the night away in the dance room! Although I don't care for country music, two-stepping is fun, and I miss DJing/MCing stuff back in Lubbock, so I will get that fix soon! The night is sure to be awesome. I will post more about that later.

OH YEAH! I almost forgot. Last night was karaoke night at Flaherty's. It was LEGENDARY. My friend Alex and I sang "Play that Funky Music White Boy". It was awesome. There is something really funny about a mix of Spaniards, Americans, Germans, Dutch, and English all in the same place all singing along to great classic karaoke favorites. It was a blast!

Carnival in Cadiz is this Saturday, and I have no idea what I'm going to dress up as... Hmmm, if you wanna leave me comments with some ideas, that would be great!

I will put pictures up of Carnival on Sunday. But for right now, check out these super cool pics I haven't put up yet below. Until next time... Adios!

Peace, love and God bless,

  1. Nice indirect Barney reference. I won't lie to you, it's what we all want. That, and world peace.

    I hope you're feeling better. Hurting in the mouth sucks. Get it? Sucks? Because you can actually "suck" with your mouth? Like suction, you know?

    I'm pretty sure you're supposed to dress up like a clown for a carnival. Just saying...

    Don't let exams (aka "The Man") get you down. The last thing you need is a case of stickittodamaniosis. It's terminal.
