Yesterday, my mum called with great news. She bought me a plane ticket to Lisbon this coming Friday as a surprise. My sister who lives in Canada along with my other sister who lives in Geneva are both going to be in Lisbon for that weekend and my lovel…
Today was the first day after the last day of mid-term exams, WHAT A RELIEF!Generally speaking the mid-terms are fine but it is just the atmosphere that comes along with it that is stressful. Thinking of it now, I believe I did pretty well. I have gott…
I have never been more upset to be in Madrid! We just came back from Santiago de Compostela. This is a major city in the north of Spain and man, was it fun. The seafood was just heavenly. The first day there we had lunch at this amazing restaurant, we…
My favorite day of the week is here, Thursday. At SUMC almost no student has classes on Friday and that is amazing. It makes the weekend one day longer and believe me, when you are planning a trip to European cities, that extra day is exactly what you …

I never thought that one day I would end up playing rugby. Rugby had always been that sport that I could never understand and never bothered to watch. That changed when I came to Suffolk and joined the San Pablo CEU ( private Spanish university that Su…
Since I have been in Madrid, I have had the most fun when I am discovering Madrid . This weekend on Friday I got a call from one of my cousins who used to study in Madrid. It was quite a surprise that he was going to be in Madrid in a few hours and was…
