It´s so nice to finally feel settled in a little bit here in Spain...we met our families today and were able to move into our houses!
We checked out of our hotel this morning (ugg...the stairs again...) and went to our first group meeting at the Hotel Melia. We got to meet our program director, Veronica, and got our schedules for orientation week. I was pleasantly surprised that I was living with Krisitin Davis, a very nice girl from Central that I´ve had a class with and really like. We will have such a great time!
We are staying with a lady named Paki in her apartment. She has 4 sons, one that lives in the house with her and 3 that live elsewhere but come over often. We each have our own room and have made it very cozy. The house is not big at all, but very homey. I´ll post pictures as soon as I am on my own computer (we hiked over to the internet cafe again).
We´ve had a lot of very authentic food already, and I´m really enjoying it. The Spanish language is a little overwhelming right now, and I wish I was more confident and skilled with my speaking. It will come fast, I´m sure, but in the meantime, it will be a little bit of a struggle.
Hope all is well back home, I miss you all!

ReplyDeleteHey Sara - Great to hear from you again so soon! I'm at Grandma's. Grandma says to tell you that we have a break in the weather. It's like 40 degrees today. Woot Woo! The kids are outside right now playing in the snow, and some snow is actually MELTING. Can you believe it? :-) Grandma says your dad has special music tonight...but you probably knew that. :-) Nothing too much going on. I have to get moving ...I have some grading to do...and some knitting that's calling my name. Have a super duper day. Love you tons, B and Grandma
