Traveling!

My traveling plans are finally going to become reality, I bought plane tickets today! I was realizing that my weekends are filling up fast, and that I needed to start finalizing what I want to do during the rest of my time here.

A short-term plan is a beach trip this weekend with my friends Whitney and Christine. (You can be jealous...) We are planning to take a bus down to Nerja this weekend and spend some quality time in the sun and exploring the city, beaches, and caves.

Whitney and Christine also booked flights with me today to Amsterdam for the end of April. I am going there to visit my friend Amanda who is studying there for the semester.  I am very excited to visit the Netherlands again, and to see where Amanda is living for the semester. :)

The next weekend at the end of April, I will be going to Italy with my friends Lisa and Nick. I am very excited for this trip, since we've been planning to go for a long time.  We are hoping to hit Rome and Florence, but we'll see what happens.  

We also got an email today confirming the date of our "group trip" to Morocco.  At the beginning of April during the first part of Spring Break, my whole program will be going down in 3 small groups with a program director from Morocco.  I have heard from students from previous years that this trip has been the best part of their study abroad experience, so I'm very excited to see what happens during this week. 

Other than trip planning, it's been a pretty normal week of classes.  I also went to a movie the other night with a friend (Slumdog Millionaire...VERY good), and have just been exploring the city in the afternoons.  I hope to spend more time outside during the next couple weeks, because the weather is gorgeous, and it gets warmer everyday. 

I can't wait to show you pictures of the beautiful beaches of Nerja when I get back...talk to you soon!!
