la semana pasada

This past week has actually gone by a whole lot quicker than the first week! Which is odd to think about since we had "less" things to do. This week we mainly focused on our review classes and setting up service learning places. I think I'm going to go to this place called Faicem which focuses on helping mentally handicapped adults with their crafts, pilates, yoga, walking through museums, or whatever. I'm really excited! The people seem very animated and welcoming =) Besides that, this week I got to actually relax and debrief and accept that I am in Spain for the long haul. I'm still living the dream. This dream continues onto this weekend to MOROCCO!! We leave tonight after a dreadfully long Spanish placement test which determines my future basically. If I test into the first level then my classes start right after Morocco and I have class Monday thru Friday. It is most costly, offers less travel time, buuut my Spanish will be downright perfect I would assume--which would be really cool. Now if I test into Level 2, then my classes don't start until Feb 7th and I can go to LISBON, PORTUGAL! holler! Beyond traveling more (classes are only Monday thru Thursday in this program), I would also get to study the Islamic Culture in Spain, learn a little more history, and even take Arabic (the language). Through this program I could feel more worldly and cultured so its the one I'm leaning more towards. Of course though, I'm on the breaking point between Level 1 and Level 2...so yep--future is decided tonight.

Anyways, sorry this week wasn't a blog update spectacular, but I'm sure if you tune in next week you'll be pleasantly surprised! =)
