Leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new."

First day of School!

Hola todos!

I haven't written in a couple of days--life has been very busy, exciting, and stressful all at the same time. On Tuesday, our group visited Alcazar which is a royal palace right in Seville. Because of its beauty, it was chosen as a residence by many monarchs for centuries, and is now the residence of His Royal Majesty Juan Carlos when he and his family visit Seville.

After we went to Alcazar, we had our second day of Orientation and I finally was able to see my friend Dana which was so exciting! We received our schedules and they gave us some helpful tips about the first few weeks of school.

This morning, my first class was at 10:30 and I was at school until about 7:30PM this evening. It was definitely an extremely stressful day between trying to get my classes straightened out and finding where my classes were, but all in all, I think it should be a great semester--I even have one class with Dana :) When I have my schedule finalized, I will let you all know what classes I'll be taking. Right now, the campus of UPO is very empty because the Spaniards don't start class until the 27th. So it's just the students from the U.S. that are going to school there right now (there's about 230 of us!). The nice thing about this university, is that they give foreign students (like me) every Friday off, so we are able to travel! This week, though, we have school on Friday.

I'm going to call it quits on my blog for tonight, it has been a pretty exhausting day and I can't wait to get into my cama (bed). Mom and Dad, please let Reggie know on Friday night that I am already missing Papa Joe's pizza!

Muchos besos,
Lindsay
