Lazy Sunday

Today was really uneventful...I wrote the earlier post, went to the grocery store and tried to find shampoo and hand soap and laundry detergent (the spanish do not have a good sense of smell because everything smelled weird, not fruity or flowery), got an italian cappuccino at a small deli/coffee bar, and sat around till dinner. Megan and I just met our spanish floormates, who are really cool and speak english (good for us) and one guy even said he was going to keep speaking in spanish so we would learn faster. grr.. :) They are all just now taking exams from last semester, because they have the christmas break to study for them. Tomorrow is our first spanish class, although I do not think it counts for a grade yet. We'll see how it goes. The students in our dorm are interesting. At dinner, everyone bangs on their glasses when someone gets up before everyone else is done eating. We joined in tonight. We still feel like outcasts but that should change! It has only been 4 days. Speaking of, it seems like I have been here for so much longer than 4 days! It has barely been half a week. Meg and I think we have a good hand on the city already and are confident when we walk around and find places. We took a taxi home last night and explained our area well enough in spanish so that the driver brought us exactly to our dorm! I'm also so glad that I have a meal plan, because spanish food is expensive. There are no dollar menus...Megan and I have decided to split meals and share food so we can save money and try more things. That is all! Oh, and I joined a photosharing network on SnapFish, so I'll get the website to this page soon. All my pictures will go there because I don't want them all on Facebook. Until next time...
