The First Few Weeks in Granada

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has taken me son long to update you all but my first few weeks in Granada have been crazy busy. I have now been here for two weeks and I cannot believe how fast everything has been going. I just wanted to let you all know that I am starting to get settled in and that I will try to upload the rest of my pictures onto shutterfly as soon as I can, my USB memory card thing is not working again.

I am heading out tomorrow afternoon for Madrid with Chelsea, Allie, and Pilar to visit our friends from Cádiz who are studying there. It is just going to be a short little weekend trip but we are all excited about it. I will make sure to sit down when I get back and write a real blog entry and post my pics. But just so you all are kind of in the loop, I have classes from 9-2 mon-thurs and then afternoon meetings with our "monitors," native UGR students. I have found an apartment that is perfect and I will be living with Chelsea and maybe a Spanish student if we feel like being super cheap. Right now we will be paying about 250€ each + utilities and things, which is about $450 total a month. I don't move in until the 20th of Sept. and won't have my keys until then so the pictures that I can give you before then are just the initial ones that Allie took for us when we first saw the place.

I love you all. Please email me or post something telling me how you are doing.
