Embrace Jayce: I'm alive and blogging!

I wrote three sequential blogs at a good pace before I lost interest. Keeping up with a blog is difficult for me because I have loads of crazy (good crazy, not bad crazy) and interesting thoughts everyday, but I forget about them before I write them down. That's why Twitter was perfect for me (while it lasted).

Anyway, here it is:

I made it to Santander! They said it would be chilly, but I wasn't prepared for the first few weeks here. It was in the 50's, raining and windy almost everyday. I guess I just didn't expect sideways freezing rain in Spain. Luckily, it warmed up enough to go to the beach last week! Soon I'll be back to my bronzen color we all know and love.

Hmm what else... There's a large duck and a small duck that live in a front yard of a house that I walk by on my way to class everyday. I think one might be a goose. I guess they're the homeowners pets, but I always want to play with them. It reminds me of Joey's pet duck and chicken from Friends. Also, I think there's a pigeon that has become friends with them.

My host mom is super awesome. She lives alone and feeds me copious amounts of delicious food. I only have one complaint: Spaniards eat too much bread and not enough meat. My first meal when I get back to the States? Rudy's. I miss Texas BBQ almost as much as I miss Texas.

I think I've said this already but it's worth saying again. Spanish girls are gorgeous. The average Spanish girl is at least a 7 out of 10. I'm working really hard on my fluency so I can talk to them. I have zero game in English, so my Spanish game runs in the negatives.

After my program here in Santander ends I'm travelling to Seville, Rome, Prague, Vienna, and then Germany. I'm buying my plane and train tickets and booking my hostels today. I'm going to be so broke.

Our entire program went on an excursion to Burgos, Segovia, and Toledo this past weekend. My favorite thing was the Roman aqueduct in Segovia. It is the most preserved aqueduct in the world, and was built by the Romans in the FIRST CENTURY with no mortar!! The stones were just placed on top of each other in a way that keeps them from falling. Of course, my first thought was "I can probably push it over." I couldn't, but I tried.

Alright that's enough for now. I can use iMessage whenever I have wifi, so text me and I'll tell you a joke or we can talk about the government spying on us. Obama is probably reading this right now...

Until next time!
