I guess I gave up on this, but I'm bringing it back.

So. I think it was made mostly clear... but Argentina was completely cancelled. Due to Swine flu. The evil swine. It was awful. I was not happy. I found a week after I found out it was postponed. The school cancelled enrollment for the summer, and may have further cancelled it for the first semester and the AIFS group which organized my trip decided they didn't want to risk losing out completely. They offered their participipants and option instead. They said we could do the Salamanca or Granada option ofr the same price, and I opted for Salamanca.

Why did I opt for Salamanca?

It was fairly arbitrary. I had looked into the option before, and decided it was a pretty good program. I chose it over Granada mostly because it looked more my style. The university was founded in 1200s and Christopher Columbus taught there and it's very pretty looking. If I feel like it, I'll post some pictures perhaps. Unviersity of Salamanca. Um. The city is known for its unique culture of being a university town. They rarely speak anything other than Spanish in the town because they are in agreement with the language school. There should be a lot of students at the University who are from all over Europe, which will be very exciting.

I don't know much about Granada, however. I know that it is a big city and I have been warned that it is good to visit but not to live in.

Anyway. I leave for Salamanca later this month. I have about 3 weeks of mental preparation left. I'm just kicking back into "I'm going abroad" gear.

That's all for now.
