Más o Menos: New Year, New Blog

Alrighty, so I've failed miserably as a blogger. Not even one post in December. However, it’s a new year, so hopefully I’ll get my act together and start posting more often... I knew that you all were missing your biweekly dosage of más o menos!!

Thanks to a good family friend, Pati Paolella (pobrecita lost sleep over the renovation of más o menos), I’ve decided to take a new direction with the blog. Instead of writing an overwhelming amount in a two-week period, I’ll be posting shorter entries every couple days.

So to start, I guess I’ll rewind and give you a very brief description of my December. In the beginning of the month, I went to Paris with 11 of my Holy Cross friends studying abroad in Spain. The city is awesome, everything that I thought it would be and a little more, although I have to say that after my first semester travels, Madrid has been my favorite city. Upon returning from Paris, I was left with ten days in Coruña. After handing in a 25 page paper for my political science class (in Spanish!), I enjoyed pre-Christmas in the festive Coruña. Two days before Christmas, I flew home for a two week vacation; it felt truly incredible to be home with my family, and catch up with some friends, and although it was very difficult to return, now that I’m back in Coruña, I’m very happy to have the opportunity to enjoy five more months here!
