Two for one. Count your blessings.

Whoo. It has been quite the jam packed week or so. Classes started today, but not our regular classes, the intensive session that is two weeks of a class with 3 hours of class each day. Our midterm will be Friday! Haha. It’s kind of a nice transition into classes because if I was just thrown into classes after my lovely extended break, I think I would die. All of the teachers seem nice though, and I can understand them very well.

I can’t decide if I am going to gain or lose weight while I’m here. For lunch and dinner there is SO MUCH food, and I am fully capable of, and do eat it all. However, I’m always so hungry because during the day we walk so much. My feet literally hurt so bad yesterday because we have been walking so much. I think I can literally feel the different bones in my foot instead of my foot feeling like one continuous bone, like usual.

I am realizing how quickly everything is going to pass just because there is sooo much to do. This weekend we’re going to Granada, which is still in Andalucia, but like maybe 2 hours from here. We’ll leave on Saturday at 8:30 and return sometime on Sunday. Granada has La Alhambra which is a well known structure in Spain. I’m anticipating it being beautiful. The next weekend nothing is planned yet, but then the following there’s a hiking trip on Sunday. So, I need to get planning on all of my trips if I don’t want June 30 to sneak up on me.

I still haven’t been able to take advantage of the rebajas, which is KILING me. There is so much cool stuff and it’s all at reduced prices, but it seems that whenever Colleen and I have matching free time is during la siesta, and what’s the point of the siesta if people don’t shut down all the stores? Hopefully sometime this week or next…it has to happen. I’m still adjusting to the whole lack of internet thing, but it’s actually really good for me. If I had internet in my house, I know I would go on it way more often than is good for me, and this way I can just spend my time in my house reading in Spanish or doing homework.
