Last Night out in Cádiz for 2012
With some of us leaving Cádiz on 6th December we decided to have one last big night out of 2012 so when M2 started advertising a neon night we decided that would be it. Everyone had resolved to dress up, even if we were the only ones in the club who would do so. We...

Christmas finally arrives in Cádiz!
So after weeks of moaning that we hadn’t been in the Christmas spirit, and getting funny looks when I walked around outside in my Santa hat the Christmas lights were finally turned on in the second week of December! Better late than never I suppose. The lights...

A Day out in Jerez
Source There was another four day weekend coming up, during which ESN was running a trip to Morocco, however none of us applied for this trip, so instead wanted to organise our own little trip out of Cádiz. After much debate we settled on having a day trip to Jerez,...

Renting a Car
For the long weekend we decided to look into hiring a car, as Anissa and Emma were leaving on the Thursday so there would only be five of us – the right number for a car. We did a quick Google search for car hire companies in Cádiz and found the locations of the...

The curious incident of the baby in the lounge
I had been worried about some strange stains that had appeared on the ceilings in several rooms of the flat, so I had e-mailed my landlady to ask her about them. She promptly visited and diagnosed the problem, we hadn't left the windows open often enough for the rooms...

A parcel from home
So, two weeks ago my parents sent a package to me in Cádiz, the estimated arrival time was between three and six days, so you can imagine how unimpressed I was when it still hadn't showed up two weeks later! My parents had promised me some ongoing Christmas cheer, as...

Christmas Cheer in Cádiz
Christmas cheer in Cádiz ... or should I say lack of it? I haven’t seen a single Christmas decoration in Cádiz, and no one seems to be in the festive spirit, for someone who loves Christmas as much as I do this is a pretty hard pill to swallow. I understand that...

14-N Huelga General + A visit from the King!
Posters had plastered the walls all over for Cádiz for weeks beforehand, but eventually 14th November had arrived. As greatful as I was for the day off University I was starting to get a little put off by all of these days off we were having, it seems like there has...

A Weekend of Work
With another 'Exam' looming it was time to knuckle down and do some actual work. My main concern was the exam for History of Andalucia, which I will have to sit next week, it is a 15 minute interview about a book that we are meant to have read. Not only is this...

First 'Exam'
The date had been looming for a while, my first ‘exam’ in Spain, and to be honest I didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t what I got. It was a geography exam, which I had been preparing for over the past few weeks, we had to learn the capital...

A quick visit to England
Being back in Blighty was so exciting that I didn’t even mind the freezing cold weather; it was just good to be back in familiar territory and I had a very exciting reason for being there. Next year I will be going to Canada with Scouts from all over the world for the...

How not to deal with a very down day
So we all know it will come eventually, a day where you just feel utterly rubbish. For me that day came on Monday, I can’t tell you why, although talking to my friends we decided that perhaps it was a comedown from my trip home and then to Portugal. But when I woke up...

The Bullock family come to Cádiz
Much sooner than I’d expected it was the day of the arrival of the rest of my family in Cádiz. When they booked the flights it had seemed forever away, but it really had crept up on me, they were landing at Jerez airport at around 9pm, so I had agreed to meet them...

Weekend Trip To Seville
So, apparently there was some form of national festival on Friday and this meant that we had the day off university, ESN had been advertising a trip to a pool party on the Friday but it wasn’t really something that we really wanted to do. Instead we decided to make...

Second Week of Uni - Looking up!
So after a bit of a train wreck of a first week I spent several hours trying to re-arrange my timetable yet again with classes that I might understand and be welcome in. Once that was done all that was left to do was see how the classes went the next week and try and...

ESN Trip to Gibraltar
The day had finally arrived, we were going to Gibraltar! I had spent so long thinking about everything that I was going to buy now that I was finally able to go to some of the shops that we have back home. For once there was no snoozing of my alarm when it went off in...
