Exams/Granada

Exams are done!!! I studied SO much this week, hours and hours for history. One of the questions on the exam was, "Explain the history and conquests of Spain from the 8th century to 1492." Ha. Because I studied so much though, I think I did ok. This weekend was amazing, Friday was the best day ever. After 4 exams in 2 days, I felt so relieved. For my grammar class we went to a cafe for coffee, so that was really fun too. In the evening, we had a movie night at school, and ate pizza and junk food. It was pretty great. :) Saturday a group of myself and 8 amazing people left for Granada! We got up at about 5:00 am and caught a train. That day, we visited the Alhambra (SO beautiful - google it!), which is the last and most ornate muslim temple built before the Christians conquered Granada in 1492. Their goal was to leave no space undecorated. After, we walked around the city and watched the sunset behind the Alhambra. The next day, we hiked up some trails and saw the gypsy caves (literally gypsies who live in the side of the mountain). We also ate these AMAZING kebabs, first and best I've ever had! That evening we caught a train back to Sevilla. The trip was so much fun, but not just because of Granada, but because of the fun group I went with. I cried from laughing. I like doing that. And I think we all need to do that every once in a while.
