I am finally able to get back to my blogging. We have been back in Madrid for a 3 week now. Being student ambassadors we had to be here a week earlier than the rest of the students to prepare for their orientation. We were scared that because of the recent fickle weather some of our students would be delayed, but to our great fortune everyone made it in one piece and more or less on time. The orientation trip to Seville was wondrous. I have been there many times over the course of the past 3 years, but every time I love it more. This trip instead of taking the bus, we made our way to Seville on the bullet train. A 7 hour trip was condensed to 2 and a half hours of beautiful scenery. I must say I was very impressed with the bullet train. The picture is the tower of the cathedral in Seville. The view from the top is amazing. Today was our fourth day of classes and it was a very exciting day. I am taking politics of the middle east and it seems as if it is going to be an extremely enjoyable class. We have so many students from various backgrounds, some related to the middle east and other are not. Being such a controversial area of the world and me being from there, it feels like we will all get to see new perspectives. The semester is just starting but knowing that it is my last in Madrid I don't want to end. it is nice to be back in Madrid (home).
