Today started off with another early wake up plus hotel breakfast. After that, we headed off to the school of engineering where we were put in the designated plus three room! In this room, we were given a lecture on balance and the different things that can inhibit balance. I found it super intriguing just…

Day 9: Projects and Art
Today we were back in the school of engineering after what felt like the longest, but one of the most fun, weekends ever. However, today we went to a different room (not the designated plus3 room) because it was project day. My group was assigned with finding a solution to dignity through defecation. Dignity through…
Day 8: Funicular in the Pouring Rain
Today was another later than usual morning where we didn’t have to leave the hotel until 9:25am! Following our departure from the hotel (after hotel breakfast of course), we went to a nice cafe to have Spanish churros (deep fried “bread” dipped in a thick hot chocolate). Personally, I thought it was a little early…

This hospital was SUPER amazing. It had everything to offer: A nice building design, location right by the beach, and a…
The Cathedral but in Bilbao
Today we had an early rise at 8:00am after a long day of travel the day before. Luckily, I wasn’t as affected by the jet lag as I thought I would be, and I managed to get great sleep! My sleep was then followed up by a wonderful introduction to Spanish breakfast. After a quick…

I am currently pursuing a chemical engineering degree with a minor in chemistry and philosophy. Despite being an in-state student, I feel that I am far enough away from home where I…
