Day 8-Absorbemos el sol

Phew! I am exhausted!  It felt like a nonstop day...for the most part!  So like always, I woke up and had breakfast, but it was a little rough since it was a decently late evening.  Then we headed to class, which was more on the difficult side today.  The other frustrating thing is that my teacher, Curro, makes participation a big part of our grade, and the biggest part of that is if you "present" in class, but he only allows like 3-6 people to go a day.  Shockingly, I actually do want to participate, but I can't (which is unusual phenomenon for me)!  So I am hoping that won't affect me too much and I will have the chance later on.  We had a guest dancer/teacher come in as well, but he was pretty difficult to understand.  Then after class I went to book my trip for the weekend and got everything cleared up.  Although it was not my first choice originally, I am now SUPER EXCITED to go to Morocco!!!  We will hopefully have a fantastic time and definitely get to experience something very new!
After that I went home for lunch with my señora, and we had meat and vegetable and patatas again.  She told me about all the different things she likes to cook and how she used to cook with her mom, and now her kids can cook as well.  She has also been having to use eye drops to clean her eyes because (as long as I heard correctly) I believe she is about to go have some type of laser procedure.
After lunch, I got some other things taken care of and then met some friends to go down by the river to lay out.  It was so hot out today, up into the 90's so it was extremely hot but did feel wonderful!  We were able to take a little siesta there! :)  It was cool to because on the walk over, it was just my friend Kristy and I and once again the conversation of drinking came up and she asked for my reasonings and what my faith was; it didn't go much farther than that, but it's still nice to even be able to share with these friends!
Then we met up with the students from my Flamenco class and our designated guide (who happened to be my guide from before!) and two other Spanish students.  Then they took us to one of the "best" helado places in Sevilla (I knew one time and I'd be hooked!) and we got some helado, but there were sooo many choices, but one again it was muy delicioso! (These are only a few of the choices here).  Once again my group got a big kick out of me as I tried to walk
 and eat ice cream with a cup of water in my hand.  Naturally I kept spilling it but had no idea and started freaking out multiple times that something was coming from the sky...always ready for a good laugh! :)
Then as a group we headed over to Las Setas and were able to go up the top, which was sweet!  As we headed up, we got our guides to start speaking in Spanish with American accents, like how we sound, and it was hysterical.  We must sound completely ridiculous to them. Anyway the view was once again gorgeous and looked out over all the city.  Under all of it, there were some preserved Roman Ruins, which were cool to see.  The rest was all very modern and the roof was so unique.  We took a bunch of pictures then headed home.  I had my first frittata with my señora, which was eggs and potatoes in a type of omelette.  Then I met up with my friend Zach to hang out with him until the others arrived, but I was exhausted and wanted to try to do some work for class and spend some needed time with the Lord and SLEEP!  Even though I have major FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out, I think this trip is good for me in that area because I do want to do as much as I can and spend time with my friends, but I also need time to focus on my work, to take care of myself and most importantly to spend time with God and His word. I never want to replace that with a need to go out, so tonight was a stay in night, and (it's great to see the Lord's work as) I am quite content and happy with that! :)  Plus I found a ton of Hillsong spanish songs and I am not sure I could find many things better! :)
