Two weeks ago, I arrived in Seville late at night, tired, but safe. I took the taxi directly to my host family's home where my host mom greeted me. My host family do not speak English very well, but nevertheless welcoming and we try our best to understand each other. I also met my roommate who is from another university; her level of speaking and understanding the Spanish language is greater than mine, which is helpful to me and my host mom.
The next day, was International College of Seville's (ICS) first orientation day where we were given general information about housing, school events, and how to get around Seville. Finally, my classmates and I met with the ICS Academic Advisor individually to discuss and register for our courses. The next few days of the week-long orientation consisted of visits to some of Seville's most famous restaurants, sights, and shows. The remaining of the week was definitely an amazing experience filled with beautiful sceneries, amazing shows (e.g. Flamenco, Belly Dancing), and delicious tapas. The orientation definitely stayed true to its purpose of preventing a student from ever being homesick on the first week of study abroad because it definitely made me more excited about what the semester had to offer studying here in Seville.
