Life has been crazy lately. I cannot beleive how fast everything is already going. As of late, I have been scrambling and simply living life out here in Europe! Classes officially picked up not too long ago. I am in a variety of classes ranging from media and society, to film, all of which are about Spain and tought in
Espanol/Castellano. These classes are still at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, meaning I am surrounded by international and Spanish kids constantly!
Furthermore, I have also begun working at my internship! What I am doing for my internship is working on a brand new temporary exhibit opening this month, for
The Barcelona City History Museum staged in the breath-taking Gothic Quarter of the city. What I do for the Museum is, like I said, work on this brand new Exhibit opening. The reason they chose me to work is because this exhibit is about "transnationalism" in Barcelona. Basically, Barcelona is changing rapidly with heavy amounts of people coming to live here, that were not born here, like myself. Therefore, I am the person who is charge of English communications jobs, ranging from creating survey's for visitors, to writing a international press release document, to simply being used for English perspective! It has been an amazing opourtunity thus far, and I can't wait for the exhibit to open.
Also, beyond school and working, I have been settling into home-stay life. I am loving living with a host mother and living in a residential neighborhood. Everything with the home is going very smoothly, and I am truly feeling like a citizen these days, not a visitor. Over the past few weeks I have done tons and tons of things from exploring the neighborhood, to finding a place to get my haircut, to simply walking around, and nothing ceases to get old around here! The weather has been decent, but not amazing, but beyond that, life could NOT be better!!
On a final note, I have discovered a local joint for some great food (get excited Caleb). It's small, tucked away, and delicious! You walk in, place your order, and the chef fires up a burning hot, toasted
Bocadillo for you, and it is not to be beleived. For those of you coming to visit, get excited, and for those who are simply reading... you may want to head to Kopp's now to clear your thoughts because this place is TOO good! Beyond all of this news, thats all that really comes to mind about my past few weeks, besides my Madrid trip which, will I post a seperate blog for!
