it´s been almost a month?????

how is this possible?

a quick entry before class at 8:45 am -- i thought classes couldn´t get earlier than at conn, but oh was i wrong... 8:45 class here is awful simply because i don´t normally go to bed until 4 am here (and this is normal...wha?)

another weekend has gone by -- well 2 really since the last update, and this week was complete spaniard cultural and social immersion -- all the americanas in the dorm left on various excursions and i opted to stay. and it was awesome, more spanish practice than i can possibly explain, learning lots of cool spanish sayings v. popular among the spanish youth ... etc etc.

couldn´t be happier with my decision to live in the dorm, there are so many people to know and talk to and just hang out, however, most are under 20 which is a little weird, but at this point, details details. However, this social atmosphere could also prove to be a horrible downfall...alas, we´ll see

ok, class time, off to recount my weekend to more gente.
much love to all, i´ve been a complete slacker in my "mass email" attempts -- because these attempts have been basically non-existent... maybe i´ll get on the ball soon,

hope all is well with everybody else in their respective parts of the world! when i show pictures to friends here i´m always saying "this is rose, she´s in germany, this is amanda, she´s in prague, this is mollie, she´s in ... etc etc" down the line...spaniards are mystified by this, i think its because you don´t really leave your pueblo to go to school very often here,
so... anyway, i was signing off...

muchos besitos, cariños!
