A place to share my thoughts and experiences during my semester abroad in Madrid, Spain.

Short and sweet


Well hey there!

Yay for two posts in two days!  I told you I’d be better.  :)

I don’t have much to say about today… took a quiz in Spanish, got some work done in between classes, and discussed Socrates in philosophy = pretty normal day.  Soon I will leave to meet up with Mom, Emma, and M for dinner.  They spent the day in Toledo, so I’m very excited to hear how much they enjoyed it.

To make this a somewhat interesting post, I am going to share two things with you.
1.     This is the list of songs I listened to on my walk to campus this morning courtesy of my iPhone on shuffle:
a.     Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”
b.     Collective Soul’s “Heaven’s Already Here”
c.     Steve Earle’s “The Galway Girl” – a personal favorite, but then again, I like all my music
d.     Kanye West’s “Stronger”
e.     Poison’s “Rock and Roll All Nite”
f.      The Ike Reilly Assassination’s “You’re So Plain” – if anyone reading my blog doesn’t know of this band, you should… So, look them up.
I chose to share this list because I found it random and eclectic (shuffle…duh!).  But it made me smile that I listened to a wide variety of music all during my walk to school.

The second thing I’m sharing is a picture. 


This cat randomly appeared in the courtyard of the apartment building today.  Maria told me that her name is Cleopatra and she belongs to the new neighbors who live downstairs.  I had a short conversation with Cleopatra warning her to stay away from my food (which I store outside on the windowsill).  Hopefully she listens.

That’s all for now folks.  Keep checking the blog to see when I’ll post next! :)
All my love,
Elizabeth

  1. I'm sure a CAT will listen to what you say, Elizabeth.

  2. She was listening! very attentively too. haha. at first I was talking to her in English though, and she was confused, but then I switched to Spanish and that cleared everything up. You just gotta know the way things work...

  3. Hahaha, I just saw this! That makes sense that a Spanish cat would only understand Spanish...Smart of you to recognize this! I probably would've continued talking to her in English, and then she would eat my food!
