Spain!!!!

For those of you actually followingg this blog, you'll know that I've been getting ready to come to Spain for a while now, so this is the post where I say I'M IN SPAIN!!!!

yeah you get the point.

Anyway, I haven't really done much. Classes started yesterday and everything's been a little crazy but crazy in a way that I can handle for now. Last night I bought my cell phone and an adaptor for my computer which has three prongs and the adaptor I had gotten for Christmas only does two. So yeah.... I also of course had classes yesterday and a tour of the Plaza de Cervantes (Cervantes is the guy who wrote Don Quijote the Man of La Mancha and is considered the father of the modern day novel).

Food is great so far, though Alicia keeps me so full I want to puke sometimes. Servings are HUGE here but everything I've tried is really good. If you get a minute look up TORRIJAS. They are seriously good and I think maybe my favorite Spanish food (up to this point).

Buses are crazy, I take one to get to the university. They get soooooooo packed full of people sometimes that its scary. Like today I thought I was going to get stuck on the bus because I couldn't get out at my stop. Thankfully there was someone there that was doing the same thing.

There is a mall walking distance from the university and its really cool inside. It remindes me of home and I think I even passed a Claire's when I went between classes yesterday (I had an hour and a half to kill).

Weather is wet. Sometimes the sun comes out for a few hours then the clouds come back and its raining and cold. At least its not snowing.

Haha Americans that have books to buy for classes! I've spent a total of... ready for this?... 6 euro (a little over six dollars) for everything I need for classes. Ha ha ha ha....now I have money to take a trip somewhere if I want. Somewhere warm and sunny? I don't know yet.

Oh! I live in a small appartment called a piso on the third floor. My room is smaller than a dorm and I might have had to share if more people came but becuase they didn't I don't have to share. It's an okay place though. I can sit on my bed an write and there are places to put all my junk. Its kinda cold all the time but I'm not going to complain because in the summer it gets hot and I don't know what spring will bring.

I think that's all I've got for now.
ummm....
6 hour time difference
Jet lag is horrid
I wish I were rich and didn't have to worry about money like some of the girls that came from BG as well.
Everything normal here.

Hope you don't get too cold in all your snow.
Besos!
