26 September 2007

It's strange to think that I've almost been here a month. The volume of this blog has significantly decreased--but I'm hoping to catch up over the next week or so, when I'll be traveling in Toledo, Segovia, Madrid, and Asturias (northern Spain). We've got a week off before classes start up again and I'm hoping to make the most of it, both in terms of travel and blogging!

Also, I actually have been writing--just not on the blog. I'm going to be a columnist for the Harvard Crimson this semester and have been devoting a bit of time to newspaper-article researching and writing. The column isn't up yet, but will be soon. If you're interested you can read my past and future articles (all opinion pieces) online at http://www.thecrimson.com/writer.aspx?ID=1202985. Just to warn you, I wrote two feminist-y pieces last year that got some readers riled up and so you may run into a handful of angry comments. (If you really like me, you can Google me and see what happens. There's a girl out there who's written an entire web page rebutting my two articles; while I'm flattered and glad to spark discussion, I'm not sure that the articles themselves merit quite so much analysis!)

Anyway, more on Granada to come. I have good stories to share, but my language class' final exam is tomorrow and tonight I need to stop procrastinating (by writing blog posts) and review our grammar. Hasta luego!

You should write more op-ed articles, I think it's good that people are angry and discussing these topics.

Makes me think of that time your parents were saying they were originally thinking about naming you after a striped animal.
