My schedule

You are all probably wondering what a day in the life is as a study abroad student in Sevilla. Judging by my pictures on facebook, you probably all think that it is all play and no study. I promise I do still go to class and do my homework, so here's a little jist of what my day is like so far. For the first two weeks of my program (we're currently in the first week) we take one class called the advanced intensive grammar course. After our first two weeks, we will start with our regular classes.

7:30AM Alarm goes off
7:31AM Press snooze
7:45 AM alarm goes off again & get up
8:25 AM Leave for the CIEE study center (location of class)
8:45 AM Arrive to the CIEE study center and print out materials for that day
9:00-12:00 PM Grammar course. We have a break in the middle and I usually eat a Magdalena (small orange flavored muffin)
12:00 Leave CIEE
12:25 Arrive to the apartment
1:00/2:00 Eat lunch
3:00-10:00 Do homework, study, relax, watch TV shows on channel131.com because Hulu doesn't work in Spain, go shopping, siesta, check out the rebajas, go to have a beer at Flaherty's located next to the cathedral, siesta, go to a cafe at Plaza Nueva, stop in at a pasteleria, have a glass of wine, share a pitcher of sangria with friends, take a paseo, siesta....
10:00 Eat dinner
12:30 AM Sleep! Zzzzz

Okay, well it may seem like a lot of play instead of a lot of work but it's called study ABROAD for a reason.. one must learn how the locals live and since the following are normal activities, "siesta, check out the rebajas, go to have a beer at Flaherty's located next to the cathedral, siesta, go to a cafe at Plaza Nueva, stop in at a pasteleria, have a glass of wine, share a pitcher of sangria with friends, take a paseo, siesta...." why not live like a Sevillana.



In other words, it's like being in the movie Eat, Pray, Love.... with a specialization in the "Eat" aspect.
