Ok since i do not want to type this a billion times to everyone in an email im going to talk in this thing and i hope yall read this!. so i arrived in sevilla yesterday and was anticpating meeting my señora. she seemed a little late coming and we did the whole kiss cheek thing and we got in her little beat up 1980 red ford something or nother and went to her apartment. we got in the FREEZING apartment that didnt have any heat and i thought iwas goign to die. on top of being cold my senora talks a hundred miles an hour, has a dog that i think she is in love with she picks him up and talks to him more than she talks to me and my roomate. our room is tiny we share a bathroom and have no room to put anything. lemme just tell you CULTURE SHOCK like you would never beleive. my roomate and i just nod and smile when she talks to us cuz we cant understand anything coming out of her mouth. we went to call our moms and had a nervous breakdown in the process crying our eyes out. the dinner was ok but we were just so disoriented and confused. i took drugs to fall asleep but froze in the process even with 5 layers of clothes and 2 blankets. to top it off i know i sound like a stereotypical american but this apt was TINY i mean redwood apt was way bigger and its dirty and no carpet and ugh its just ugh and then i come to find out the other API students have much better accomodations i feel like i got jipped since i payed the same price as them. so i walked around the city and stopped back for lunch to find out we have no electricity!! just when it couldnt get anyworse. our senora talks to herself and really isnt spanish shes from like argentina or something and had no husband or kids and is obssesed with her sobrino(niece) so i had to pee in the dark and i was so happy to leave after lunch and go buy a blanket and some comfort food at el corte ingles. it got a little warmer so i felt a little better we did more walking and talking (my roomate and i) and then went to unpack our things. dinner was carrot soup ....and then we watched the futbol game against sevilla and barcelona(HUGE DEAL HERE) then i got lost trying to find this internet cafe and then on my block i found a bar that has computers where you can check your email... ill be here often i think... well i guess things are looking up. im just trying to tell myself that time will go by so fast nad in four months when im back in the US ill be wishing that i was sitting with my senora watching futbol and eating wierd food... i hope.. please call me or write me letters cuz i need love!!
