I should be...

Cleaning? Working? Studying? Having fun? Eating? (Not)Sleeping
Hey Everyone!

So as my title suggests, while I would like to be doing those other activities- I should be working on my paper for Monday. But as all things, procrastination overcomes my greatest desires to work. I just wanted to let you know that I will be posting a series of, well, posts about my time up until now. I now I am a little behind, but I think that as soon as I finish this 4 page, 1.5 space, 12 font all-in-french paper about the effects of WWI in France, I will be able to update you quickly about my time here. Last night I did go out, but that is and entirely different story that requires so much more attention that I will be able to give it at the moment. I know this is quite short, but here are some pictures from this week's trips to Hotel de Ville, and the Senate here in Paris. Take care and I hope to post soon!

Inside the Hôtel de Ville- Amazing architecture!

My latest happenings

Another day in the city of Madrid and let me tell you, so much can happen in the course of, well, less than a week. First of all, I have not been able to update you on a daily basis (because believe I have time!) due to the incompetence of my computer at the moment. Unfortunately, I have been having problems when I start it, as there are times when the screen fails to show; it’s pitch black- no signs of it working whatsoever! This was getting so bothersome (as it has been acting like this for more than a day now) that I restarted my computer so that it was in the same condition it was when I initially got it. However, that also means that I have lost of my pictures- from the time I was in Mexico up until the ones I had taken a few days ago. The only ones that have been saved are those on CDs, those online, and those that I managed to not erase in my camera. The same goes for my music- all gone! No worries though. I will take more here; I have an opportunity to create more memories and ...

Almost the beginning...

So today is the first day I decided to write about the experiences that await me in foreign countries. First of all, I would like to let you know of the many places I will be able to visit as a result of my education. During the fall term of my sophomore year, I will be in Madrid, Spain. In other words, that is where everything is going to begin. After only ten weeks of studying there, I will return to the winter in Memphis, although I have to admit I will no mind since the cold is not as extreme as it is in Minnesota. I will stay home for about 5 weeks- a rather long winter break, but again I won't mind. Then, only days before New Year's, I will take off to western Africa- Mali to be exact. There I will experience a different sort of learning opportunity since it will be the first time that I am in a country where neither of my first languages are dominant; hello Francophone country and culture! Again, as we run by a trimester system, I will return home for about 3 weeks and o...

Some pictures

This picture here is just a brief look into my room. It is quite nice and spacious. I have so much closet space- the ones you see there are not the only ones. I also have a walk in closet. The bed also pulls out of the wall, so if I wanted more room, I could just put it against the wall.  In this next picture, you can see my own bathroom! I was lucky enough to have one to myself. It´s great because it's like a minitub/shower.Oh, and the washing machine is in there as well.    Here is where i will be having some of my classes. The first is with my Carleton professor (he will be teaching us about Urban Life) and the other will be with a professor here in Spain, Prof. Teresa Delgado, and she will be teaching us about the history of Spain. The other class we are having will be held in various art museums. Our first, however, is in El Museo del Prado . So these are just some examples of the places where I am. I am thinking of setting up a different site where I just put up ...
