Things I´m getting used to...

1. Our new eating schedule. That took a while, but now eating so late isn´t quite as difficult...and along with that, I'm definitely getting used to the food! That didn´t take much getting used to, since everything is so delicious, but there are many types of food that I´ve never had before, so that´s something to adjust to.
2. Walking EVERYWHERE! I love all the exercise I get, but I always need to be sure to plan an extra 15-30 minutes to walk where I need to be.
3. Dressing up more often. Sweatpants are NEVER an option on the street of Spain, unless you are going for a run! The Spanish women always look so beautiful. I definitely don´t look anything like them, but at least we fit in a little better when we dress up a bit.
4. Long weekends and sleeping in! I feel so spoiled, and it´s hard to believe I am going to school...all my classes are very fun and my lazy schedule is amazing.
5. Fresh fruit each day is amazing. Orange, apples, and mandarins have been in season for the last month, and have been delicious. Soon will come strawberries (my fav!) and other great fruits, it´s so nice!
6. Making my own plans. While I am here, if I want to travel, there are lots of plans to be made, and it is a great learning experience. It´s teaching me to be more organized and independent.
7. Using my Internet quickly and efficiently! Very few of us have Internet in our houses, so we mainly use it between classes at school or at an Internet café if we don´t mind paying a little. I´ll be very glad to be back home when I´ll have Internet whenever I want it.
8. Rebajas! I´ve definitely gotten used to the great shopping in Granada and the sales that have been going on all of January and February. It will be sad when they end next week!
9. Living with a new family. My brothers are opening up and talk a lot more around us, and Paqui has always been so sweet to us. Kristin and I were so lucky to be placed in such a great family!
10. Missing home. I get homesick sometimes, but for the most part, I´m getting used to being here. I´ll be very excited to get back to see everyone, but for the time being, I´m making the most of being here.
