Well, we have been in Granada since Monday. Yesterday we went to the Alhambra, which was spectacular. It is gorgeous and ornate the most spectacular monument we have seen. I, personally, loved the castle, because I am a child, and running through a castle and climbing towers is totally my scene. But I have to say that the geometric, perfectly crafted walls of the Alhambra were breathtaking.
We also had our final group dinner and saw a flamenco show.

Today we had a quiz and our final exam/midterm exam/some sort of exam to wrap up the seminar, though there is more to the three credits course which will come later in the semester. The exam was a "4 page minimum hand written or 12pt. double spaced" paper explaining the history covered during the ten day seminar and the monuments we visited. I was bugging because it seemed like a lot to write. I ended up staying until the last minutes of the exam, and wrapping up a poorly compiled 8 page essay. Rough.
But then, tonight was great. We went to this great bar/restaurant called Bodegas Espadafor. It was amazing food, which we devoured before we could even think to take pictures. After, Jade and I went to this awesome little place called La Cueva, and got some drinks and dessert. We also got some free meat things and bread, totally my kind of place.

It's been an intense ten days, and the last couple days just flew by. Tomorrow we go to Madrid, and Jade and I will be moving in with our host mom, Palomar. It's gonna be great! I feel like I should have more emotions about it, but, honestly, I am just over this seminar, and ready to meet new people and FINALLY unpack! Let's do this! #SoPumped
Oops, almost forgot: the blog post title is an allusion to Jade's fear of cats. She says they will suck the breath out of your face. So while we were at the Alhambra and there were cats everywhere, Jade said "protect your breath."
