For those of you who are regular readers of the Mirror you may have noticed that I contributed a few articles while I was abroad in Spain last semester. Well, in mid-May I finally made the decision to return to Granada, Spain for one more term. As my decision slowly seeped out to my friends and family everyone began to ask the same questions: "Nic, are you really going back? You must have really liked it over there…" or "So, are you like fluent in Spanish now?," and sometimes, "You met a girl over there didn't you?!" The simple answers to these questions are yes, I'm writing this piece sitting in my apartment in Granada; no, I'm not fluent in Spanish but someday I hope to be; and yes, I met a lot of females while I was in Spain and I plan on meeting more.
