-Every time I told anyone I was going to Granada, they'd say, "Oh, you'll get to see the Alhambra!" On Tuesday, I finally got to experience the cause of all the excitement. I was definitely not disappointed. Each painstakingly carved and tiled room of the palace was even more beautiful than the next. I would tell myself to stop taking so many pictures, but as I walked into a new room, I'd start shooting in a frenzy all over again.
-After enduring a grueling placement exam that lasted more than three hours, I placed at the right level to take the courses I want. Now I'm just anxiously awaiting my finalized schedule.
-After enduring a grueling four nights of no sleep due to an extremely loud cat in heat, yesterday I finally bought earplugs and slept through the night. I have no idea why I haven't worn earplugs my whole life-- they are a life-saver.
-My host madre made quinoa yesterday, a completely different species of quinoa than the hard and tasteless gruel posing as quinoa in the Bard cafeteria. Gastronomically, I am quite satisfied here in Spain.
-Yesterday morning it was raining, but I went for a run nonetheless with my friend, Laura. We ran along Rio Genil, which looks like an elongated puddle in some sections, but if you run far enough, it turns into a nice, flowing river. It ended up being super refreshing despite the rain, so I'm about to go for another run now. This time I might even use the exercise equipment along the path because it won't be covered in raindrops. More soon!
