Spring break, here I come!

I might have to make this short, but I think that is better than nothing. I wonder if a little bit of something is always better then not having it at all (?). Anyways, I am still madly in love with Europe and Spain, what's new? haha. I have gone to Paris and a bullfight recently. I loved them both! Jackie and Deanna flew here safely and we had an amazing time together, I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. They are the best friends I could ask for. We saw so many things and although it was cold and wet in Paris, I can't wait to go back with mom some day =). Spain is treating me well, school is sort of a joke... some of my teachers don't even know words in engish. They are nice, but I must admit it is easy. I am far from challenged, but I don't mind that for once. Every Wednesday I go to a museum for art history class, that is a lot of fun. Somehow grading systems here are rediculously easy too. Anyways, enough about school... we all know I am really here for travel. I go to Rome and Greece this Monday until the upcoming Tuesday. I cannot wait for that! A huge group of us are going and I hope it is as great as we think it will be.

As happy as I am here, and as much as I love to travel around; I do long for home sometimes. It is hard always having someone to say goodbye to whether it is family and friends from CT, Boston, or soon to be Europe... moving around so much can take a toll on me. Thinking about that reminds me that I will be going to Florida to see my family in May when I come home, and that reminds me why I love to travel and why it is well worth it. I am very tired so I will continue this later (hopefully), but I will leave you with something extra to read:

Interesting facts:
1.Popular conversation topic over dinner= where we all last saw pepper on a dinner table (Spain never has pepper anywhere)
2. Best new places I have seen= Plaza de Torros (bull fight) and the Eiffel Tower
3. The French aren't as mean as rumor says they are
4. My spanish is improving (little by little)
5. I MISS EVERYONE AT HOME however, still don't want this to end quite yet.

God bless and goodnight,

Autumn

quierres mas?

This is overwhelming- in a very, very good way

Retiro Park (the water is usually filled with people in boats)


Sorry I haven't written in such a long time, I have gotten lazy with my blogging. I've gone to Toledo, Spain and Segovia, Spain. They were both day trips and they were very fun. I definitely liked Segovia more, but I think that was because I wasn't feeling too well when we went to Toledo. There isn't too much to do over there either. I would like to inform everyone that I am no longer sick and have not been since the weekend after I wrote the last blog- THANK GOD! That whole being sick every other week thing was terrible. The weather here is awesome, it is in the 70's and very sunny. Me and my friends visit retiro park all the time, it is probably my favorite place here. There is water, boats you can take out, people everywhere... it is just beautiful and huge. I will try to find a picture of it to put up, if not then I will take one next time I come. All of my friends take cameras everywhere and I get lazy with mine, but I will take it with me more. So many people in my school travel to a new city in Europe every weekend. I don't quite have the funds for that, but these are the places I am going before I make my way back to the states:

Paris, France with Deanna and Jackie!
Rome, Italy
Cruise from Italy to Corfu, Greece

Barcelona, Spain

San Sebastion
Home to Connecticut

Deanna and Jackie are coming to visit me from March 20-30 and I can't wait! It is going to be the best =). My two best friends in the whole world actually bought tickets and are going to travel the seas to see ME and of course Europe! It will be amazing. Anyways, I think I am going to relax now and then maybe head out a little bit later. Mid terms are over and I did well on all of them =) yes, I am passing my classes, don't worry! Well, I miss whoever you are if you are reading this, I am sure.
