29. Some Spanish government employees are Seville servants. I just came across this haha

6 out of the seven days this past week I've gone out because we have 20 days left. It's been a lotta fun. I've been to so many places I've never been to before. I just looked up my flight to Holland and it's at 7 in the morning, so my last day here will probably consist of no sleep. I'm trying to make use of every day that I have left in Sevilla but it's kinda hard. It's been raining and the weather has been a debbie downer. I wanna lay by the river and regain my tan and not have to carry my cheap umbrella everywhere. I have enjoyed the past couple weeks more that the first half of the semester. It seems life always works that way. When it's time to leave I feel like I have really fallen in love with Sevilla. However, I think three weeks is the perfect amount of time for me to enjoy Spain and move on.
I've been a terrible big sister. I need to spend more time with my hermana. I only have 20 days to hang out with her but we seem to be on different schedules. She's always with her dad after school and then I leave to go out after dinner. We didn't get to go to the beach this weekend because the weather has been crap in all of southern Spain. I going to miss this little booger more than she thinks I will miss her. Just thinking about not ever seeing her again makes me semi-depressed. Ugh.
The offical start to Feria week begins tonight at midnight. They are going to light the entrance and commence the partying. To be honest, I'm kind of scared. Apparently, that part of Sevilla becomes party central and people go nuts. You pretty much eat, drink, dance and party all day and repeat for the next 5-6 days. The famous Feria alcoholic beverage is rebujito. I think it's white wine and Sprite or 7-up. I tried some the other night and it tasted gross. It has the after taste of soy sauce. I miss Asian food and all but yuck! I will update with pictures after I go tonight.
Of course, I've heard the news about Osama. I don't know if I should be relieved or scared. It was really shocking to read about when I woke up this morning. The riots and celebrations are pretty insane too. Hope everyone is staying safe.
Anyways, still working on my "things to-do" list.
Bullfight will happen this week someway or another. Fubol match. Meet a spanish dude at least 6 ft tall (totally jk). learn a few more Spanish phrases to use. the list goes on and on but I'll keep you update.
