Spain – One week left by Hannah Stephenson

Spain 2019, Study Abroad

I cannot explain how quickly our time has flown by. It’s sad to think we only have one week left to embrace the culture of Salamanca, Spain, to spend with our new friends, and to complete our course. Right now is one of those moments that you wish you had a time machine. I wouldn’t go back in time though, I don’t want to do things differently, I just want to slow down the next week.

It seemed forever for June 23rd to arrive, but then it did, and we’ve been in the fast lane ever since. The next week I am prepared for a lot of shopping and a lot of walking. I still have many many souvenirs to get and I want to explore the city some more. Not just walk to and from school and the plaza. I want to experience what I came here to do, and I have a lot to catch up on!

As a group we have become so close and all of these memories we will share for all of our lifetime. The good and the bad, (mostly the good though 🙂 ) will be significant to the SPC 2012 Study Abroad Spain group. Our last week starts now, and we need to live it up.

 

 

Spain – I'm learning just by walking down the street by Hannah Stephenson

Spain 2019, Study Abroad

Hola Amigos! 

The past five days here in Spain have been indescribable. The weather is perfect, the food is mouth watering and the city just takes my breathe away, to say the least. 

I do have to admit, sleep is quite scarce! We’ve been busy busy busy! Everything from watching Spain win Semi-finals in La Plaza Mayor to touring the city and a beautiful Cathedral.

I don’t go anywhere with out my camera! My family and friends back home love all the pictures, I email them and it’s the best way to keep in touch. I miss them but it’s definitely worth it!

Salamanca, Spain

I share a room with two other students from St. Petersburg College. We have become like the Three Musketeers and I would be lost without them. I haven’t taken any Spanish so it’s hard to communicate here in Spain. One of my roommates is in the middle, she can speak and understand nicely! My other roommate is fluent which is such a big help!

So far, everything is going better than as planned. I’m learning just by walking down the street (which we do a lot here). We’ve been here a short amount of time, but I would already recommend visiting Salamanca, Spain, even if it’s just for a week!

Ciao!
