feeling the difference.
Picture Adam and Williams drinking rum and cokes out of Radisson Hotel´s coffee pots in galabeas talking about the differences between @ traineeships and study abroad during an infamous power hour szechuan. Now, picture me nodding in agreement. I think studying abroad is going to be fantastic, but I definitely get what those crazy cats are talking about. I was on a high after hanging out with Javier and all of his friends, and then speaking spanish with Javi (the @er from Sevilla). It was great to see Spain from the perspective of the people that call it home. Now, I am at a hostel in Sevilla, which is absolutely great, don´t get me wrong...but it is the furthest thing from immersion in the world. I´ve spoken English nonstop since I got here, and everyone else seems fine with that, like this is just a vacation. I can see where it´s going to take a lot of initiative on my part to step out of my comfort zone and meet people from Spain, and not New York or Texas. With @, there is no comfort zone, I was in Spain with Spaniards, sink or swim. I can´t wait until exams end here, and I can start going to GMMs in Sevilla.Orientation is tomorrow.
