It gets better everyday..

Hellloooooooo everyone.

So I've just decided to start updating every Sunday. Nothing happens during the week except class...and thats all boring and in Spanish.

Let's see, I finished my 2 week intensive course. I learned about 7 grammar techniques that I have repeatedly learned before and just never understood. I'm happy to say in two weeks I understand them all now. Well for the most part. We are all getting use to Sevilla and Sevilla is getting use to us. Twice now people have come up and asked us for directions. Granted I had to tell them I don't know where that is. But its nice to look like you belong there. I am understanding my senora a bit more each day. The guy who was fluent in english and spanish just went home on saturday, So now its just she and i. Its a little difficult but we are making it work. What do I miss the most besides family and friends...definitely the food. One girl in my program put it perfectly saying..
"I just want to sit down for lunch one day and not be surprised by what I'm eating...or have to guess what it is"
and another said...
"Its sunday and I want a big stack of pancakes with syrup..but i guess i'll just settle for an apple."

One big difference here than in the US and their salads. They don't use dressing. They don't even like it. All they put on it is oil, vinegar, and salt. Ya know making the salad actually good for them. I think thats a tip americans should take. and they have a piece of fruit with each meal. however they love mayonnaise here. Its really odd. And I don't mean as a condiment. Its like a sauce. I guess my friend dana's host mom makes her own mayo and dana just knows its gonna be on top of whatever shes eating that night. mmm yummy. Luckily my senoras on a diet.

Last night a bunch of us made a pact to do the Spanish thing and stay out till 7am. I don't know HOW they do it. We only made it to 6am and I was dead beat tired. And when I left the club people were still going strong. We hopped around all night though. It was fun. The last club we ended at was called Buddha. It was a 3 floor nightclub and you have to be well dressed to get in. It was really cool.

I start the rest of my classes this week. I have 2 everyday. I am taking a spanish film class, Spain artistic movements class, A spanish writing class, and a spanish speaking class. All of them will be taught in...what else...Spanish. I'm somewhat nervous but I know someone In each of my classes so its all ok.

Next week we planned a trip to lagos portugal. Its coming down to the last of the beach weather here so we're going! Portugal is suppose to be beautiful. Can't wait.

MOM, I want you to know the shopping here is killer. I have been very good don't worry. But when you come you'll just have to see it. Designer stores everywhere. All stores here are very Fashion forward. I'm learning a lot in that department.
I've also learned that Sevilla is the capital of ice cream shops, shoes, and wedding dresses. I don't know if thats true but I swear i've never seen so many of the same stores in one city.

Okay thats my update of the week. Hope everyone is doing well!!
