I love Spain. All of my stories have ended up being like "I went in a Spanish bookstore and it was WICKED EXCITING. Then I went in a Spanish supermarket and it was WICKED EXCITING." This keyboard is terrible so if I typo a lot, deal. I´m trying. Last night was AWFUL. Liz and I got like 3 hours of sleep and we were NOT out doing anything!!! We were in bed by at the latest 12 and things were just insane. Let´s just say I ended up actually yelling at Prospero at 4 AM. Yelling. Things are fine today though and my pragmatics class is the best class I´ve ever been in. I love it- just the right level. AHHHH SMART CLASSES EN ESPAÑOL!!! I sit next to Fran, who was my second Spanish teacher ever. A little odd.
All of the Americans have been having bloody noses because we´re not used to the dry air here. Esther warned us but I didn´t listen...
Things just make so much more sense on this side of the ocean. Except for the driving. Spaniards drive like FUCKING PSYCHOS ALL THE TIME. ALL OF THEM. I promise. Just... watch where you´re walking.
Tonight we have like a beginning of the program party and Liz and I don´t really feel like going but it´s our dinner so I guess we have to lol. Oi.
I can say comfortably now that I speak Spanish. I can always learn more words, but everyone´s been telling me that what I do speak is "fluent." Thank god for Miguel. Thank god.
If I have things my way there will be many more trips to Spain in the future. ;)
PS my shoe broke on the way to school yesterday and it sucked mucho. Fortunately I had bought other shoes that morning.
Portugal this weekend... so weird. There´s a sign nearby with an arrow (una flecha- nueva palabra) that says Portugal. HOW COOL IS THAT? Like hey, there´s Portugal. Sweet.
I need to write Laura a letter or something.
Talking with Aaron has been difficult but at least we both know the other´s still alive. HI HON!!! <3
Alright, well we have to walk back for lunch. Ahhhh I can´t wait to see Caitlin and bitch about last night together.
