First REAL Entry

I started this blog before I left and I kind of forgot about it- go figure... anyways I had been sending out mass emails letting all of you know how I was doing, what I was doing, ect but I think writing a blog will be more efficient and somewhat fun for me! (plus I can post pictures on here as well).  You all kind of know what I've been up to due to my emails. Yesterday was my birthday- it was obviously an anti-climatic 21st birthday, and yeah, it was a little lonely too.  Don't get me wrong, I'm having a great time here- it's just that it's still new, and friends are new so it wasn't really that big of  a deal.  But that may also be my fault because I don't make a big deal of it anyway.  Either way, I'm 21! 

I'm writing this and I'm stressed! We have been planning trips all day and it's hard work.  You not only have to find cheap, or the cheapest, flights but you have to worry about where you are going to stay, get train tickets to places, getting to Madrid, ect - the list goes on.  One trip has been made!  Andrea and I are going to Paris the next weekend (Feb 8th)!  I'm really excited, I've always wanted to see Paris.  The next trip in the makings is Geneva and Interlocken, Switzerland.  We found really, really cheap flights (i mean, 30 euros round trip!).  And then Stephanie and I are going to make a trip to Italy. I don't need to go to all these crazy places - I just want to hit up the countries that are necessary.  I'll keep you updated.

I'm about to go for a run along the river. It's so beautiful down there.  But before I leave I want to post some pictures from around Sevilla and our trip to Cordoba.  

AHH, having difficulties posting pictures- i will try again later
