I'M FINALLY HERE! the entire reason why this little blog project exists has finally begun. to say it has been a whirlwind of shit since getting off my plane would be an understatement. i still don't know the names of everyone on my program (apparently spanish folk don't believe in icebreakers) nor do i know how to take money out of an atm. however, i've already gotten semi-used to taking the metro everywhere and my house is in a prime location. living with kim is the greatest thing ever because we can refer to each other when we have no idea what marisol is saying. (her and eduardo are our parents for the next three months. oh, and they don't know a word of english.) i can't wait until i actually know how to get everywhere and have my favorite "go-to" spots. hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
unfortunately, i don't have any crazy exciting stories yet, those will hopefully write themselves after this weekend.
things i need to get used to:
- having a flip phone where i need to account for .15 euros per text.
- eating a FEAST in the middle of each day and not eating dinner. ever.
- having to walk everywhere.
- bring gawked at for being american.
- the smell, or should i say stench, of spanish folk.
- having to rely heavily on my own common sense.
things i have already gotten used to:
- the greatest coffee on earth.
- having a senora that waits on your hand and foot.
- being the legal drinking age.
- having homework that requires me to go out and drink and then tell the class how i liked it.
- having a cute boy to stare at in my spanish class five days a week.
- eating massive amounts of jamon.
