dia uno:
note: i wrote this yesterday in an email to the maj...but you can enjoy tambien.
spain is...well lazy. or maybe that´s just me but i´ve been
characterized by a surprising amount of lethargy since my boarding the
spanish plane i don´t know how many hours ago. maybe i´m just
jetlagged. or maybe it´s just the nature of the
place/people/what-have-you.
but i´m not gonna lie. the second i got on the plane i felt warm and
calm. a natural high if you will. they were playing some soothing
jazz music (a tinkling piano...plucked electric guitar, kind of like
that santo&johnny song, and a sax) and the stewardess smelled like
roses. and and and...no one was sitting by me so i got to sit by the
window as i drifted in and out of my daze for 6+ hours.
my shuttle dropped me off three long blocks away from the accent
center. i´m not complaining but if my calloused hands could talk i
think they´´d have a thing or two to say about my heavy luggage.
however the very effeminate and cute accent center guide said he was
proud of my obvious selective packing skills. i guess most people
bring two of what i took with me. he encouraged me to go shopping
with my extra bag space.
now it´s nine ó clock at night and i just went out to do some grocery
shopping. i don´t want to make the nice german couple feel awkward.
like they should be offering the starving american something to eat.
aren´t i considerate!
i´m also living with an italian couple ricardo (he´s a dish and he
says he cooks good italian food) and i forgot the girls name but i
remember it sounded like a boys´name. martino or something like that.
the germans are tobias (toe-bee-us) and annette. she´s 30 years old!
and a french girl named ... duh... delphia or delphine. i forget.
she´s from paris.
so naturally i want to be her best friend. we´ll see how that goes.
my roommate is iman turner uc, davis senior. quiet. so far...i don´t
really know much about her actually. she´s been sleeping all day.
as for me i´m on page 100 of kite runner.
and i got the window bed. ka-ching.
and i think i must bring this email to a close because i´m sleepy.
still. and i have orientation tomorrow at eleven o´´ clock and i´m
gonna have to leave early cause with my sense of direction i will only
get there by the grace of god.
hasta luego.
love,
