First Day of Real School ...

Woke up way too early and got ready / ate breaky.

Started out the day in Language (grammar) class. I was stuck in a classroom full of highschool kids. Either this kids are prodigies or I did miserably on the placement exam. Karen who also has had many years of Spanish agreed that we should try to switch to an upper class within advanced.

Next was negocios and then Economy. In the first there were only 6 people out of 15 (including myself) were American. I made a list of where everyone was from: Italy, China (3), Germany (2), Brazil (2), Korea. In both of those classes I have to do a group project. This will force me to speak our one common language -- Spanish.

Finished up the class day with Culture. Pretty much the exact same stuff we learned during oriention. Spain has 4 national languages, 17 communites, capital is Madrid... and other awesome facts.

Here's a door that I pass daily... thought Brandon would appreciate this:

After class I walked Annie (my date for 6 weeks) home. She also has a boy at home.

Lunch consisted of chicken noodle soup, chicken, and fruit. The soup came at a perfect time. I've been fighting this darn sore throat!

After a quick siesta / facebook stalking session, I went to try to move up out of my class. Before that I met up with Karen (who also wants to change). But while waiting for her to arrive in Plaza Mayor I met a new friend. His name is Antonio. He is probably older than Pablo. Oh and Brittany apparently sounds like Marissa (I didn't correct him! bwahaha). After I shoed him away a group of students sitting at a nearby cafe gave me the thumbs up. I just shook my head!

Karen & Mike came right when the old man was leaving. . . So I do have witnesses.

Maria our advisor said she would what she could to change our grammar class. Then I asked her if it was normal for old farts to try to pick up a girl that is clearly 50-60 years younger than themselves. She too thought it was odd... She told me to say "Dejame en paz" (leave me in peace). If that didn't work she said to shove them.... BAHAHA I do not have any desire to shove a creepy dirty old man. He may be into that sort of thing!

Next we went DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all signed up for dance classes-- twice a week for July! Today we learned the intro to salsa. SO much fun! Our group got split into two though. So we had 2 guys and 8 gals in the earlier class and the same in the latter. Our guys were Robert & Jon.

After dancing we played a card game (I think it's call Euchre... ) Jon and I kicked booty.

Today was one of the girls b'days so we went to Plaza Mayor and people had drinks.

Dinner consisted of ham slices, chicken and french fries, followed by natilla and fruit.
