As you know, I'm studying at la Universidad de Granada. Each major of UGR has its own building. CLM stands for "Centro de las Lenguas Modernas," which is for the languages, but there's also another building that is used for CLM students called Kenya. Not really sure. The story behind it though is that it used to be a hotel which was later turned into a school. That's pretty cool, talk about recycling!
I decided that I want to play soccer while I'm here and I think it's a great way to meet Spaniards. I guess CEA (the program I came with) has a team of its own. I'd rather meet people and play soccer with people who know how to instead of Americans. No offense, I don't think Americans are really good at soccer. You don't see any of them on any European teams. And that's when it counts. You watch MLS? Please excuse me while I focus my attention on UEFA, English premiere and Spanish leagues.
Yesterday after orientation, we went on a tour around Granada. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to look like a tourist in our massive group of 38. The majority are from ISU and Tulane though. I'd rather go back later when I'm not being rushed so I can get detailed pictures. But it was fun walking around and all. Today we are going on a tour to Albaycin which is the Moroccan neighborhoods of Granada. I'm super excited. And who knows, maybe I'll whip out my Arabic? Or my oriental dance moves that my Gap friends know about from working shipment in the back.
Either way, I'm not making any promises. But it should be fun.
Fingers crossed!!
