Hola todos!
Today was my first day of school... I am writing this from the library because the internet at my house messed up and I can´t steal wireless on my iphone like i´ve been doing for the past couple of days. :(
Classes are awesome so far! My first class at 9:30 is advanced spanish.. which might be a bit of a challenge. I really need to work on my speaking skills. Then I have International Marketing in english with the coolest professor ever. And then I have an art history class in Spanish. There are mostly american students in my classes but theres one from turkey, brazil, lithuainia, and Austria. They all speak spanish very well and it will be interesting getting to know them.
I´ve been crazy busy for the past couple of days. People in Seville stay out soooo late! Since its so hot they don´t eat dinner until 9 and usually go out until like at least 11. It´s crazy but I think i´m finally getting the timings down.
Even though we´ve only been here for like 4 days, We´ve done so much. 2 of the girls staying here in my API group have a pool at their house so we went and chilled there all day on Sunday. We are finally starting to meet some spanish people which is nice. Yesterday we visited the Cathedral of Seville which is the biggest Gothic Cathedral in the world.
Today is crazy busy, which is why I have to cut this post short. I had classes which end at 2:30 and at 5 we´re going to see the Alcazar.. a palace in Seville. Then at 9 is dinner at my house then at 10:45 I´m supposed to go hang out with some people from my classes. Yes... that late on a school night.. I don´t know how I´m going to survive, but I really need to practice speaking with people. And unfortunately the 5 girls in my API group have gotten in the habit of only speaking English. Maybe after today we´ll start speaking spanish? (I keep saying that... ughghghg)
I suppose I´ll just have to upload pics on my friends laptop since the computers at school apparently don´t have flash drives... so annoying. I think theres a library by my house.. maybe I´ll try to use that.
As far as transportation goes, We´ve been walking A LOT! More than I think I´ve ever walked in my life. Nicole and I decided to sign up for this bike rental thing which is pretty cool... and when else am I going to have the opportunity to ride a bike around my city.. can you imagine that in Charlotte haha. I take the metro to school and I havent had to take any buses yet. Everything is fairly close, but walking so much is getting annoying.
Speaking of the Metro, I really need to go. I´m already late for lunch and I need to figure out how to squeeze in a siesta. I wonder if all my days are going to be this crazy. And with homework on top of that... eeek! At least my classes don´t seem that hard. :)
Hasta Luego!

As if I didn't spend enough time working on the computer, now I have this really fun thing of reading your blogs, facebook and emails. :-) Daddy is reading your blog too. He said, "10:45 sheesh" and "I have a feeling I'll be hearing about siestas for a long time" :-) I love and miss you, and am so glad you're doing this.
good luck with your spanish dear. study hard!
