Spring Semester ’06 in Spain

• Junior at Pomona
• Majoring in Public Policy Analysis (Politics); Spanish minor
• From Vashon, WA
Where are you?
Salamanca, Spain.

Why did you choose this program?
I chose this program because I wanted to improve my Spanish and Spain sounded like a pretty sweet place to do it.

What are you studying/working on?
I am studying everything about Spain - it's language, history, literature, cinema, politics, fiestas, siestas...

What is the best thing you have eaten?

Tapas are delicious! My favorite is this special grilled and garlicky chicken from a bar called Papillion. I also love these huge mixed tapas from a bar called Paniagua.

Where do you live?
I live in an apartment with a family. I have a "dad" named Gonzo, a "mom" named Meyos and a 21-year old "sister" named Ana. I also have a grandpa who is pretty crazy and takes me to soccer games.

What is the coolest thing you have done/seen?
It is impossible to name one thing but I would say that my trip to the Canary Islands to celebrate Carnival is something I will never forget.

What do you miss about Pomona/Pitzer the most?

My friends.
