One weekend whisked away to Nantes, France. The next weekend engulfed by some Barcelona
love. Another weekend a visit from a
great friend. Then maybe a little trip
to San Sebastian. Oh! And don’t forget to fit a little studying in
the middle of all that.
Basically, everything has been unbelievable here. Joanne and I went to France last weekend to
visit our friends Scotty and Nico. We
went to Nantes, so a fairly small town with a river running through it similar
to Porto, Portugal, but the entire time we were there Joanne said it reminded
her of Seattle. So, maybe it is
Seattle-esque? It was definitely cold
enough to be Seattle. I did not go
prepared for such cold weather at all. I
didn’t even bring anything but sandals. Oops!
While we were there our friend Nico had a Gala, which I
guess I would describe as a glorified prom with 10 different themed rooms with
different types of music and food and French people everywhere and fun and
happiness. But I think the best part was
getting to dress up and spend some time with a few of Scotty’s friends from his
time in Nantes. Great people!
Our weekend in France was a blast with little sleep and lots
of love! And Joanne and I get the honor
of hosting Scotty in Barcelona this Thursday!
Woot! Maybe we’ll finally get to
do some tourist stuff around the city that we haven’t got to do yet
either.
Other than France, what else has been going on? School?
Nah! Well actually a little. We had midterms last week, which went
well. I only had 2, so that was nice,
but I’m definitely going to make up for those tests in final semester
papers. I think I have to write about 30
pages 1.5 spaced by the end of my time here.
Yikes!
But other than that, everything has been great. I keep meeting new people every day and going
on random adventures getting lost in the Barcelona jungle. AND! Yesterday
I played lacrosse for the first time with my friend Aaron’s team here! So neat!
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when he invited me, but I worked
out with his team and improved 1000% from the beginning of the practice til the
end. For my first time picking up a
lacrosse stick, I’d say I did pretty well.
They even invited me to play with them in their tournament next weekend
against Madrid, Sevilla, and Andalucía! It
was a blast! And I’m so glad I decided
to go for it and try something new! Who
knows…maybe lacrosse is in my future haha.
Ta ta for now!
