hey. my name’s katy. i’m a journalism and spanish major at the university of oregon, and for the 2011-2012 school year i will be studying in sevilla, spain. i’m pretty stoked. and as a journalist, i couldn’t imagine not documenting my time abroad. from september to june, you can find my take on style, eats, the city, and life in a foreign country.
my goals:
- take the photo. really, just do it.
- move into an apartment with a spanish student (students?) for the second semester.
- cook one meal every week and document it for a weekly recipe post.
- put in the effort – in terms of style, language, friendship, everything.
- make all elective courses the second semester direct enrollment classes.
- smile more. i smile a lot anyway, but there’s nothing wrong with a little more smiling in the world.
- become a regular at a cafe, bar, or market stall. or maybe all three.

I like the subjects you write about, so I’ve just decided to follow you reaching all the goals above. Good luck!
thank you! i’m only 3 weeks in, but i’d like to think i’m making progress towards most of them, anyway.
