Busybusy

Saludos from Madrid!

I've been really busy with my program orientation these past few weeks, but classes start on Monday so then I should have less of a crazy schedule and then I can update more often!

Today I signed up for classes, and I'm only taking 4 (which is crazy for me!) My classes are medio ambiente y sociedad (Spanish geography and anthropology), el cuento (the spanish short story), instituciones (Spanish and European government), and a language/grammar class. I don't have class on Fridays or until 6pm on Mondays, so hopefully that'll make it easier for me to travel!

Speaking of travel, I've already been invited to interview with 2 medical schools! The MD programs at UTMB Galveston and UT Houston both invited me to interview with them. However, I'm more interested in their MD/PhD programs, so it looks like I'll be declining those interview and waiting for a possible interview with their MD/PhD programs. Wish me luck!

This weekend my study abroad group is taking a trip to "Rural España". I'm not sure exactly what that entails, but I'll try to take lots of pictures and update you on Monday!

¡Abrazos y besos a todos!
(hugs and kisses to everyone!)
