I received the opportunity to go to España for six weeks as a Gilman scholar. Yes, my summer program is finally fully funded. I arrived to Spain on May 18 and I had my first set of classes today. It has been fun as I met cool people in this program.
I stay in a dorm in Madrid, Spain. I have a single dorm, and I share a bathroom with other students. During the weekend, I walked at least 10 miles a day. I am not overreacting, as my Apple Watch recorded the miles, as I walked in sandals. I know, I need to buy walking shoes.
I went to Segovia and walked all over Madrid in three days. I ate tapas, pork, churros, and other types of food. It has been a great experience so far. I am hoping to come back to State College with a better grasp of Spanish. I know I will not be fluent but I want to be close to it.
