Novedades
Novedades means News! As in personal news, not like the newspaper.
Today was the first day of the rest of my time here in Spain and it was a great day. :) Let me start from the top. I've changed my schedule yet again because one of my Universitat de Barcelona classes was too hard. So now I have two UB classes (which meet Tuesday and Thursday) and two CIEE classes which meet Monday and Wednesday. My new CIEE class is Literature and Cinema of Spain, along with my old favorite, Catalan. (just kidding.)
So today I had my two UB classes, español en los estados unidos, y literatura hispanoamericana. After class I went to lunch with some people, then I had to hop on the metro to meet Ana and Raimon. (I was mistaken before, his name is Raimon, not Ramón.) I was really afraid Raimon wouldn´t like me or that he would be bratty and spoiled, and hanging all over his mom.
But he was so cute!!! His big eyes and short blond hair. We hung out and had a snack together. He actually knows a lot of English (more than I thought.) He was very excited when he remember how to say something in English. He ran into the kitchen and said, "My name is Raimon!"
Raimon, his mother, Ana, and his father, Tomas, live in Villa Olimpica, a newer part of Barcelona where they held the Olympics. It is a gorgeous neighborhood. It has a lot of space. The Barcelona Zoo is nearby, plus lots of parks, and fountains and the best part is that it´s right on the beach. They definitely live in the nicest part of Barcelona.
I found out that Raimon really likes movies and I asked him what type of movies are his favorite. I asked, "Do you like Disney movies?" Then his mom told him to show me his movie drawer. He pulled out Gladiator, League of Extraordinary Gentleman, and LadyHawk. Not what I was expecting. But I was so excited when I saw LadyHawk. Ali and Dad know what I´m talking about. A little known 80s classic.
Raimon is so cute and he kept asking when I had to leave. When I told him six oclock, he said, "No quiero que salgas." (I don´t want you to leave.)
So I´m really happy. I´m making money and hanging out with a well-behaved little kid.
