I´m dreaming

Hola mis amores! Estoy aki...

I´m here, and i´m in the process of moving into my dorm, living with another girl from the program, and it´s all been quite surreal so far. I feel like one of these days i´m going to wake up and be at conncoll.

The crazy thing is, my program is 90% female, so i didn´t think it could get much worse...but oh yes, it can. A little worried about the drama that may come about given the redunkulous amounts of estrogen on this trip but, it´s cool. Classes start monday and today we had a fantastic proficiency exam -- it was fine, i guess. Tomorrow we go to the beach, so life is pretty sweet. There are ppl from all over the US here with all different abilities of spanish, so ít´s been intersting to say the least. A little frusterating when you are trying to really immerse yourself in the culture, but it´s cool taking a more "active" role in a group of people -- and it really is an awesome confidence builder.

It´s great having so much independence here, and its been pretty busy, but i love the spanish schedule with naps and late nights, but i´m not sure how stellar the computer/internet situation will be. I´ll hopefully post pictures/have pictures soon of all my spanish adventures, if anybody wants to meet in paris or whatever we´ll see. I´m game for travel, and i´m trying to get to Portugal and most imporatantly MOROCCO! Alas, we´ll see. All in all, its been amazingly fantastic thus far, but my roommate is waiting and getting impatient.

Hope you all are enjoying your time afuera de o en los EEUU!!
Muchos besitos,
Emily

what the hell is this? Well anyways it sounds pretty sexy over there. Just think: you can get drunk and start talking in spanish and it will make TOTAL SENSE! Have a stellar time
