All good things come to those who wait

I haven't been slacking off or avoiding this blog. Honestly, this is the first time all week that I actually have some time to myself. With four hours of classes, three hours at my internship, three hours of transportation, an exam to study for or a paper to write every day, it can be difficult to find spare time.

That said, we just finished the intensive period of one class for four hours a day five days a week. Still, I learned more in three weeks than I did in any semester class at Ithaca College. The whole "immersion" helped a bit, but it was a usage class. We learned phrases and sayings that we could use immediately after class at home, on the bus, or anywhere really. For example, we learned how to say someone is "down to earth" and "I have to sleep on it."

Tomorrow I am off to Cordoba to see a synagogue, a church and a mosque. Monday we begin the class schedule that we'll follow for the rest of the semester. For now, here are some photos from Granada. I hope to post more from Cordoba some time on Sunday, but no guarantees.

Finally, this Saturday night, Dougystyle and special guest Pretty Penny bring you a countdown of the top 55 alternative rock songs from the '80s. Tune into Alternagold from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Eastern time every Saturday night only on VIC Radio!
