It means "no worries" ... [for the rest of your days]

Hi all!

Because there is just so much to catch you up on, I have decided to make this a list post for the sake of my time and your attention span.

I traveled to Lagos with twelve other students a couple weekends ago. I would say the highlight of my time there was surfing! No, I have not always wanted to try surfing but it seemed like the perfect place if I were to ever do it! I caught exactly 2 waves and had salt water coming out my nose. It was truly a miraculous experience.
Mom and Dad came to Sevilla to celebrate our birthdays! It was great because A. they are my parents and I love them, B. I saw parts of Sevilla that I hadn't had a chance to explore yet, and C. I ate at restaurants that I would have never found because my TripAdvisor talents are none compared to my dad's. My two other friends from FIT, Madison and Caroline, also came for the big birthday weekend! We celebrated with tapas, flamenco, lots of wine and a day trip to Cádiz. It was the perfect timing. I was ready for some familiar faces and a piece of home.
I got a job "teaching" English to three adorable Spanish children! I quotation mark that because they lived in Colorado for a year and are basically already fluent. The parents want me to help with homework and find ways to keep them speaking the language. I believe this will be a good side activity to keep me going. Plus, I'll take any excuse to hang out with kids!
I've started to feel a little overwhelmed with weekend travels, schoolwork and exploring Sevilla itself. I am quickly finding ways to balance everything. This includes no television shows and limited siestas.
Mama Maria is still cooking a lot of delicious food and I am eating every bit of it. So that's good.
New pictures in the "Sevilla", "Lagos", and "Cádiz" tabs!

I am off to Madrid for a few days with Mom and Dad! Will check back in soon. Lots of love to you all. xo
