I have arrived in Sevilla safe and sound! The trip was very smooth but the good old Madrid Barajas airport never ceases to drive me crazy. Needless to say I was a little annoyed about paying for another bag and having to take a bus to the infamous terminal 4 but everything changed when I got back to Sevilla. When they came to visit me back in 2010, I met my family in Barcelona and flew to Sevilla after we spent a weekend in Barcelona. Everyone could tell I was happier when I got back to Sevilla. They told me I was uptight and stressed in Barcelona but once I got to Sevilla my whole demeanor changed. I guess that's what happened today. I do not know what is in the air in the city or why life just seems better here but one thing is certain...I am thrilled to be back.
I met so many friendly people from my program including my roommate at the hotel. We are getting along great and I'm excited to spend orientation with her! CIEE provided us with an information session at 7 (after I took a shower and a 2 hour nap...jet lag is never a good thing) and the information session was followed by a
welcome cocktail party with endless TINTO DE VERANO...made with FANTA! I thought I was in heaven and then they started to bring out the tapas...first one out TORTILLAAAA!!!! I was lovin life. Everyone was friendly and I couldn't get enough of meeting new people and talking to people about the program and the city. I already know there are people here who I can become great friends with.
The Andalucian sun was shining when I got off the bus today and it was a clear 90 degree day...I'm back in the city I love! I have a good feeling about this program. I'm excited for a week of orientation to get a glimpse of what this awesome year is going to bring!
