I found out I got into a study abroad program in Granada this coming fall! I'm super pumped! I'll be taking a ton of Spanish classes, and I think I'll just about finish my Spanish minor, which is exciting.

Granada!

My roommates and some of my friends are leaving, too: Eileen and Amanda are going to Rome (with Cindy and Danielle), Gannett to Ghana, Emily to Italy and then London (along with Beth and Emilie), my other friend Emily is going to Puerto Rico, and Kate to somewhere outside of London. Brahm is trying to go to Amsterdam. My friend Steve probably won't be here when we all get back because he's planning on going to Rome next spring.

It's a little weird. Most of my little core group won't exist at Temple for a semester. This is also the last year we're eligible to live in a residence hall, and so next year we won't be back in our unified little "Hey I can walk down the hallway to see you!" type world.

I think I'm excited though. New experiences, more opportunities to explore the city, more chances to get involved in different things. Right now everything is just a little overwhelming-- the copious amounts of group projects, studying for macro and stat (which I'm not sure I'll ever really understand), and finishing up end of the year club responsibilities (today I have to train the new Social Events Chair for Honors Activities Board). Not to mention end of the year celebrations!

Here's a picture from our costume-ish party last weekend. Amanda was Bret Michaels, Eileen was something beautiful, and I was the sun.
