Since I only have a little bit of time left, I am trying to do everything I wanted to do here before I leave! \u00a0The weather has really turned around here! \u00a0For most of the 3 months, it has been cold and rainy but this past week the temperature has averaged about 70 degrees!! \u00a0Everyone in the USAC program has been taking advantage of this amazing weather. \u00a0That being said, I have spent a lot of time outside walking around and sitting on the grass in the parks, just enjoying being in Europe with such great weather. \u00a0 Last Sunday, my friends and I went to a Bull Fight! \u00a0I never ever thought I would actually go to a bull fight. \u00a0Thought I did get a little queazy, I thought I would cry the whole time or puke or get up and leave, but I didn&#8217;t, I sat though the whole ceremony. \u00a0I can appreciate the art of Bull fighting, but I do not think I would ever go again, it seemed like animal cruelty. \u00a0The atmosphere was awesome and they let one bull go because of its bravery, so it was not all bad. \u00a0I would recommend it. \u00a0I also went to a Cirque Du Solie Show last week! \u00a0I love those shows and it was really cool to see one here. \u00a0Tonight, my friends and I, are going to a Futbol game!! \u00a0We are going to see Real Madrid play at the stadium here, I am super excited!<\/p>\n<p>I just found out that I got an A- in my most recent spanish class which is awesome! \u00a0I am so glad I am having fun and working hard, it makes me feel good.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to Malaga in a couple of weeks for independence day weekend!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Okay so some things that I have noticed:<\/p>\n<p>Spaniards do not really like people from Latin America, they see them as immigrants and they call them bad names. \u00a0(I think that is one of the reasons I have gotten mean glares, they think I am Dominican.)<\/p>\n<p>Apparently 80 degrees is not hot enough to wear shorts or a dress cause all of the USAC students got mean glares on the metro for it.<\/p>\n<p>Spaniards are not good at speaking english, it is too hard to pronounce the words so they just do not try. \u00a0I am not sure why it took me so long to realize this. \u00a0 My professor said that \u00a0one of the things most spaniards make as their New Years Resolution is: \u00a0to speak english-more or at all.<\/p>\n<p>I do not think I ever told you guys this, but I call myself Jordana (Jordan is my middle name)<\/p>\n<p>because I HATE the way spanish speakers say Tyler.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alright that is all! \u00a0Stay tuned \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Monroe<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4112\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/uncategorized\/crunch-time\/attachment\/img_3597\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4112\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4112\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/files\/2013\/04\/IMG_3597-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_3597-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_3597-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_3597-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_3597.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Great Photo I caught during the Bull Fight!\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hola Todos!!
