My name is Guadalupe Carrasco and I am a Junior at Chapman University in Orange, California. I am majoring in Political Science with a minor in Communication Studies, English, and Spanish. Currently I'm in my third week here in Salamanca, Spain. I've already gone to visit Granada, Madrid, Sevilla, and Cordoba, and out of those cities I think Salamanca was definitely the best choice for me. Back home I live with my parents because Chapman is literally less than 15 minutes away. Which is why I decided to live in the Residency instead of living with a host family.
Although I am a native Spanish speaker, never have I once taken Spanish grammar classes. This was my main concern as I was applying to study abroad. However I have been here for about three weeks and I already took a two-week orientation Spanish class and so far it hasn't been that bad. I guess my main problem is that I write in Spanish the same way I say it. This I hope to improve on during the next few months.
