Today was our first day of school here. I almost forgot that this is a study abroad trip and not just an abroad trip. My first class is at 9:15 in the morning at the Universidad. The teacher is so nice and sweet; she is only a few years older than us. Celia (she wants us to call her by her first name) studied at UGA, even though she is from Spain. You could tell that she was excited and a bit nervous to be teaching us.
My cultura teacher looks EXACTLY like the Count from Sesame Street, except that he has grey hair. He is a bit difficult to understand because he has a very thick Spaniard accent. All of us are not pleased that we have to write a ten page paper in Spanish for his class, but it is what it is.
Since the Count has to proctor another exam tomorrow, we don't have his class. As soon as I am done at 10:30, I'm going with a bunch of other students to the beach for the afternoon. Afterwards, we are going to see Pirates of the Carribean in theaters, or Pirates del Caribe as they call it here. Tomorrow should be a fun and stress-free day. :)
Gabby, How exciting to be attending school in Spain!! Wow, I'm enjoying your blog!! What a great experience. You certainly are creating memories that will last a lifetime!
