To do

Moonrise from our rooftop terrace

The weather has turned, fall is definitely arriving. The nights are cooler, and although the sun is still shining, the sky is bluer. The flowers on the school terrace are fading. The air smells different. I love it but it also makes me feel nostalgic. The Granada chapter is slowly coming to an end.

We've had interesting episodes in my house, which I share with other students from the school. Let me call it SGA, for an abbreviation of the address. People have come and left again. It's hard to say goodbye when they leave. And exciting, for we are curious about who will move in next. We've had big parties on the rooftop in SGA, quiet dinners in small kitchens, long nights watching the stars with a tinto de verano, early Sunday-morning housebreakers (scary!), lots of guitar players practicing and many types of instant coffees standing in the cupboard. I've been very lucky with my flatmates - they were all girls who stayed for several weeks and were crazy and adorable. Some chicken coop drama was included - but thanks to my many languages I managed to connect to many people. I've even made some happy with my Vietnamese cooking! What more can I ask for.

I'm taking care of my checklist right now. There seem to be too many to-do's on it! One of them includes replying to the many messages I get from all of you on facebook or by e-mail. I thought that keeping a blog would make it easier to stay in touch and keeping everyone updated on what I'm doing. But sometimes it feels like extra work. 

I hope it will be easier by the time I'm in Sevilla and have an internet connection AT HOME! This has been really hard the last two months. In some ways it was good not to have internet. I was getting too addicted. But now I've been reminded of what a precious resource it can be. Hopefully in Sevilla I will have it again.

Still looking for a room in Sevilla for the month of October. Wish me luck!
