Craaazy November

Hey Everyone!
I hope you all had a good Halloween. As for me, I was definitely celebrating the arrival of November. On Friday, Robin Meg and I went out for tapas again. We're getting so good at it, we can get to almost 5 bars in one night. Saturday was Halloween, and pretty uneventful during the day. Most of our friends were traveling, so Meg and I didn't know if we were even going to do anything at all. We ended up going out and dancing all night long. We didn't dress up, but that's pretty normal for here. It was definitely one of the best nights I've had here so far. The rest of the weekend was spent studying for midterms, which are next week.
On Tuesday our art class went to the Alhambra. It is the second time I have visited it, and I am going again on Sunday with my Mom and Mrs. Kelley. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot more than I did the first time (I think my Spanish is improving!). Wednesday I had my first group presentation in my Culture class and I think it went really well. Wednesday night we went out with some friends for tapas. A girl from Denison who is studying in Copenhagen came to visit Granada, so we spent some time with her as well. We went to Granada 10 for the usual Wednesday night "Ladies Night", but Meg wasn't feeling great, so we went home around 2. Today was a really hectic day. We have a bunch of review classes as well as a trip with some girls from Arcadia to visit a daycare center outside of Granada. It's about 30 minutes away and in a really sketchy neighborhood, but the kids are 3 months old to 4 years old, and they are just ADORABLE! They come from lower class families who need someone to look after them so they can go to work every day. Meg and I have committed to volunteering there once a week for the rest of the time we are here.
Things are starting to get really hectic. Not only are midterms next week, but everything for next semester at Denison is due soon as well (classes, housing, etc). I also am setting up an LSAT tutor for Christmas break while still attempting to work at Target. Overall, it's a little stressful. Mom is going to be here tomorrow and I can't wait!

I miss everyone and love you all!
