The Real World

In the midst of my carefree days and weeks here in Spain, the real world has crept in and found me...  :)

I'm in the process of making all my plans and decisions for next year, which tends to be very difficult when you are across the sea from everyone else!  Thankfully, things are coming together slowly...hopefully all goes well.  

It's the time of year at Central where we need to be registering for classes and deciding on housing arrangements for next semester.  Luckily, I have great friends who are helping me out with housing, and my advisor is very organized with registration.  The scary thing about registration is that my advisor is leaving this year (eek!) and with this semester abroad, my accounting classes are all out of order and will be difficult to squeeze in.  I guess I just need some time, patience and organization!

I'm also trying to plan for this summer and the next...an internship probably would have been a good path to take, but since I wasn't quite on top of that, a summer job or two will probably make the most sense.  Then again, with my crazy senior year with accounting classes, a summer class might also be the way to go.  Decisions, decisions...

The other thing creeping closer are midterms!  I won't complain, because I've hardly had any homework all  semester (It's going to be so hard to go back to regular classes!), but all the classes have midterms the week before spring break...it will be tough to study the whole semester's worth of material so far in all of my classes!  I almost wish we had a few assignments in our classes so that the tests weren't such a huge part of our grade...Oh well, I'm heading to the beach again this weekend (I believe I'm seeing a trend here...), so I'll have to take my notes along and study hard.  :)

I'm looking forward to another very relaxing weekend in Nerja with my friends...they haven't seen the caves yet, so I thought I'd tag along to hit the beach, of course!

My friend Christine and I are only staying until Saturday night, however, because we're signed up for another CLM hiking trip on Sunday...fun!  I don't think it is as difficult of a hike as the last one I tried, so it should be more relaxing.  As a part of the trip, we also get to go to the Arab baths.  The baths date back to the Middle Ages, and are all around Granada and Spain.  I've seen many ancient baths in places like the Alhambra and the Alcazaba, so I'm very excited to experience one for myself...something to look forward to reading about in my next post...Adios!
