-I had my first exams...All A's and B's so academically estoy viva también!

-I went to Ronda: it was cold as balls, I look like a muslim in most of my pictures from there, breathtaking little city tho

-I went to Arecena: they have freaking caves there! we hiked thru the "grutas" and the ruins of the city. I swear all I do here is climb mountains and do cupitos of tequila... haha Oh and you can't take pictures in the caves but I snagged a few before "provoking a problem" with the tour guide haha so I will post those asap...like maybe tomorrow

-The weather here hasn't been typical, today however its sunny and around 14 degrees Celsius whatever the fuck that means haha

-there's been some tension in the house with the roommates and such, but girls will be girls (aka putas) and that shit just comes and goes, so a couple days ago the puta mierda hit the fan, and i havent really been talking to them. I dont have a problem with anyone it may just be that ive been spending time with other ppl and kinda doing my own thing.. BUT i pay a lot of money to go here so im going to have my experience...putas included or discluded im not one for like talking about that kinda shit and sharing my feelings...sounds kinda gay to me haha

-I went to Gibraltar this past weekend and got to play and hold FREAKING MONKEYS! ahhh they were crazy and everywhere! we also got to explore a cave and go through some underground tunnels...pictures to follow of course

-I also went to Cadíz for Carnival... let's just say it feel short of being anything close to a carnival.... ppl got their shit stolen (cameras backpacks), broken, assulted, puked on, drooled on...it was just a drunking disfrase mess i tell ya. At least LOS DOS (the erics) looked good in there slutty chiquita banana and hot nurse outfits

-I have to use the McShack for any short of wifi outside of school it's kinda of annoying... but today im making all sorts of friends here bc randos just keep sitting by me haha

The Alcázar of Seville (Spanish "Reales Alcázares de Sevilla" or "Royal Alcazars of Seville") is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, originally a Moorish fort.

The Almohades were the first to build a palace, which was called Al-Muwarak, on the site of the modern day Alcázar. The palace is one of the best remaining examples of mudéjar architecture. Subsequent monarchs have added their own additions to the Alcázar. The upper levels of the Alcázar are still used by the royal family as the official Seville residence and are administered by the Patrimonio Nacional.
