Novotel Malaga Málaga

... was extremely stupid of me to think that I would. When I told my family that I was going to Spain the first thing that they asked me is "do you know Spanish?" I responded "I know enough to get by". Well, I know enough to barely get by. At this point if I meet a Spaniard I hope to God that they know English and then once we start speaking English I am able to have a conversation. When I meet somebody that only speaks Spanish I am basically ...

... in Malaga yet (locals) but I am really hoping that I do. That and studying vocabulary are on my priority lists. I also can not wait to explore Andalusia and figure out what "Spain" truly is. I have an idea so far....easy going people, siestas, friends, partying, staying up extremely late to party, but I have yet to put my finger on "Spain". I ...

... That is really what they did both days actually. I am an English Conversation Assistant but they are giving me way more responsibility than that. I haven´t been introduced to all of the professors I´m going to be working with yet and this terrible man, Fernando, who is in charge of scheduling and stuff has been so mean and unhelpful. I told him that I would like to observe the classes and talk to the teachers to have an idea of what they are doing ...

My first day in Spain was a blur, seeing as we got our wake-up call at 2:30 in the morning so we could catch or 8:00 flight from London Gatwick to Málaga. My friend Mirella and I sat on the top front row of the double-decker bus that was the ride for us 55 students to the airport. We literally felt transported to the night bus from Harry Potter - it was dark and rainy as we careened around corners through the narrow streets of the city ...

Katie and I ended up running a little late to the meeting. We left the hotel at around a quarter past 12. I said, "I hope Michael really does embrace the Spanish mentality." We arrive there and Oliver tells us, "Michael is running a little late." Haha, I guess he most certainly does embrace it. After he arrives ...

... talking with the family, etc. Sierra took me on a little tour of the building. She brought me up to the roof where you can see the beach in one direction and the cathedrals of the historic district in the other direction. The weather is beautiful! It was around 70 today, although that's warmer than it's been lately. According to Francisco, once March hits people will be swimming in the ocean. Jealous yet? I'm really enjoying myself so far. The family is super nice ...

Dudes! Well we arrived at midnight on Tuesday night in Malaga and were greeted by Olga and Roxy at the train station! Have been hanging out at Olga´s place in a little township called Velez Malaga. Had a great day yesterday cruising around the little village in the hills north of Velez. Went to see Saskia´s ruin in Arenas and met Antonio and Angeles (proper little Spanish ...
