I am going to be studying abroad in Oviedo, Spain for a little over two months. I am staying in the dorms at the University of Oviedo and have no idea what is in store! I will hopefully be traveling a lot, eating a lot, and having a blast!

Well yesterday I went on an excursion to Gijon (even though I have been there A MILLION times) to go to the roman bath's museum. I was really glad I went because it was a beautiful day and we went on a walk that had such a nice view! Being near the ocean always makes me happy I realized so I enjoyed the scenery. The roman bath museum was not as big as i thought it was going to be and stuff but it was interesting. I sort of knew that Rome had a huge influence on Spain but I didn't really know the extent of it. The baths were discovered in the beginning of the 20th century during an excavation and there were 5 rooms discovered. There are a lot more rooms but they are not able to excavate them because they are underneath the cathedral...bummer. Anyway it was really cool to see and hear about how the roman culture influenced spain so much. I am so mad! I forget what i was gonna write in here...i was thinking about it during class (while i was listening of course) because it was something about class i know! I think it was just that just being in a classroom with people from a bunch of different countries has taught me so much. I like my advanced class because we talk about things that are useful to know about the culture instead of just going over grammar over and over and over again. It is really cool. And I love my teacher! She is just so fun! I can't believe I am going home in like 10 days... it has gone by so quickly! I have had a blast but not gonna like I am looking forward to being home in the states. 8 weeks is along time to be away from everybody and everything and just being away from comfort. Tomorrow night I leave for Barcelona! I am really excited! Me and my friend Kellie are going to go visit our friend Eden there who has her own apartment so it will be nice not to have to stay in a hostel and what not. I get back sunday afternoon so i will talk to you then...hasta!

Sarah--I can't believe you are going to be home in 10 days. Take a city tour in Barcelona and then pick what you want to see again. Gaudi is big here which I am sure you know and then trust the tour book. I love you, dear, and have fun! CeCeXO
