The wind has left us for the most part and the sun has returned.  I have started running consistently again and I love it!!  I think I have been away from it for long enough that I know that no matter what, running will always be a part of my life no matter how much I want to pretend I don't need it.  There is a beautiful running path right near my apartment and it is so convenient.  I have been running there every day along with an overwhelming large number of males.  Chicas running doesn't really seem to be a popular thing here, its more about smoking a lot and looking skinny.  Alas I am glad to be addicted to running instead of cigarettes.

My classes are going well and for the most part I am really enjoying them.  My 20th Century Painter profe is especially entertaining and I cannot help but feel inspired every time I leave his class.  He is so excited about the subject and so excited about learning!  It's infectious!

This weekend Karina and I are headed to Granada.  It is supposed to rain but I think we will have fun anyways.  We seem to be able to have fun no matter what the circumstances.  I am consistently grateful and amazed at how lucky I got in having such an awesome roommate.  You spend so much time with your roommates here that if I didn't have such a great one I think I would probably be rather lonely.  As it is we snuggle in each others beds and watch  movies, do homework, or talk to our host mom in Spanish.  It's great!!  I can't believe it has already been almost 3 weeks- it has flown by and we are starting to realize that 4 months is not actually as long as it seems.  I am trying to take advantage of every second possible.
