On Saturday morning I went on a bike ride with a few people in my program. There were 9 of us and only 8 regular bikes, so I volunteered to ride the electric bike. It was super strange b/c whenever I would pedle the motor would kick in and it would propel the bike forward. I seriously didn’t have to expend any energy to ride that bike, even up hills. That would have been cool, except that I really wanted to get some exercise. I had the option of turning the motor off, which was nice, except that I think it made the bike way harder to ride than a normal bike. Anyway, it was still fun.
The morning started out as a total fracaso. Anne and I had to wake up at 9:30 after having gone to bed a 6 am (we stayed up to watch the GU game against UNC…that’s a whole other story), so we were more than a bit tired. Then 10 minutes into the bike ride 2 girls somehow managed to get lost and it took about 30 min to find them. After a few more bike problems, we were finally on our way. Despite the bad start, the bike ride ended up be really great! We rode along the river and into a little town outside of Granada. It was super cute, with tons of flowers blooming and a really tranquilo feeling.
Other than that, life in Granada is really going well. We have midterms coming up this week, and while it’s kind of a bummer to have to study it’s really the first time that I’ve had to do any work this semester. And once this week is over, Anne and I will be on our way to Barcelona and San Sebastian!
Also: how is it possibly the end of March already??? Time is going WAY too quickly, and I'm not really okay with that. My sister (shout out, Emily!) wrote me a message saying that she would see me in 2 months and while I am of course super stoked to see Emily and my mom, I can't believe how soon that is. When I got here in January, it seemed like June was so far away and now it seems like the end of my time in Spain is approaching far to rapidly. Time just needs to slow down a little!
