Days come and they go.

The last few days have been rather interesting. Lots of adventures throughout town. We all stick out like sore thumbs to the locals. Today was the first day of class, and I'm in the easiest class imaginable. We said the alphabet in spanish and colored with colored pencils today, still debating on staying in that class and take the month easy or move up another level, guess i'll make a decision tomorrow. Alot of the food is really great, we eat out at least once or twice a day, they have tapas bars here which is like ordering a drink and you get free appetizers with it which is awesome because most only cost 2 or 3 euros which is nothing at all. They have Mcdonalds and Kfc's here too, and mcdonalds sells beer. They don't have sweet tea like back in the states, which is something I'm addicted too. The time goes by so fast, i wake up around 7:45 am which is like 12:45 at night back home, and go to class from 9-1:30 everyday. A lot of the streets on my way to school look exactly the same, so I have to leave home early to make it on time. There's so many spanish customs, like meeting a lady or girl you air kiss each cheek. A lot of the Spanish take "siestas" which are like naps, it's usually around 2-4. They take this seriously, a lot of businesses close down during this time to take a siesta. We go out almost every night around 10 and stay out until about 2 or 3. I think i'm learning the most by daily interaction with spanish, like ordering in bars and restaurants, having to talk to people when needing help. NO ONE hardly speaks english and looks at you like you have a disease. You end up making hand motions and sounds and look stupid in the process. Planning a trip to Barcelona this weekend, that will probably be pretty awesome.  Hoping to go back to madrid soon too, so much to see and places to go there.  

Hasta luego!
