A quick entry...

So the only reason I have time to make this entry is because I screwed up a meeting I had with one of the directors to talk about my classes - good job, Tara. Hahah, in my defense, she only sent it to me this morning while I was in class and wanted me to come in during our siesta time, so she was really banking on me getting the email (and what if I didn't have wifi?). And then I was back here working on HW and forgot that the 15 minute walk should start at 3:15 to get there by 3:30...I just blanked out. So I called her and explained that I didn't have time to get to the center before our next activity, and she just scheduled me in tomorrow (and that entire conversation was in Spanish, mind you, so go me).

Anyway, things are going pretty well (I almost typed "mas o menos bien," haha). We went out a little bit on Tuesday night, which was fun. And our "intensive" Spanish classes have started, so for four hours a day I am in class just working on language. I'm in Group B, which isn't the crazy smart group with two native speakers but also isn't the remedial one, so that's perfect.

I've had gelato twice here so far - delicious places to get it in the Plaza Mayor. I'm also in love with Carrefour, which is basically a Spanish-style Wal-mart. That's where I've been buying all my snacks, since breakfast is way early, lunch isn't till like 2:30, and dinner is at 9:30 or 10. Crazy!!

Anyway, now I've got to go...we're having a couple of talks about Spanish student life and voting from abroad, then a walking tour of the university. I think a bunch of us are going to go and see the residencias tonight, where the IES kids who aren't doing homestays are living in the dorms. Miss and love everyone - email me / leave comments and say hi. :)
