Hola chicos! I hope everyone (if you’re in Stevens Point) has been surviving this last couple of weeks. It has been crazy here with all this snow; I know I have had to shovel almost everyday if not multiple times a day. I have been trying to avoid looking up the weather in Spain but […]

No, really it’s not too bad; I’m actually taking an Art and Architecture class and a Theatre class, and they’re both incredibly enlightening. You may think to yourself, “My, what’s that got to do […]
