Carmen!



Well, another highlight from my time here... finally able to see the opera, and flamenco all at once. This was definitely not what I was expecting with my background information of this particular show, but what an incredible spectacle! Dramatic lighting and sets. She made a point to only use the colors black, white, and red. So it worked well. And they used shawls and capes and fans in the dance, it all just came together so well. But I can't do it justice, all I can tell you is that I was sitting at the edge of my seat in this one.

Today I took my exam and passed out of Sampere Madrid, Saturday I move to Alicante for the last month! It's definitely a bittersweet goodbye, I am very accustomed to such the beautiful city, and I am going to miss my family, my friends, my professors, so much. Besides which, I just met a girl who came here last week... an Alpha Chi Omega from Florida! Small world. Sad to move on, but with so much to look forward to! Asun, the director, corrected my exam and simply said GENIAL I was proud when she looked through the entire two paragraphs I wrote about the future with the sole mistake of one missing accent mark :) You have no idea.

Anyway, I am cooking a casserole for Sabine and Elena right now! Look at me go! I hope all is well with you, especially my loyal fan Rebecca, shout out to you and thank you so much for the read and the comments! You have made it worth writing, sending my love from overseas.
