Whuddup America!
I think today was my first normal day. I woke up, ate cereal, and played guitar all morning.
There is a little neighborhood pool that we walked to, and when I had to go back to ask Lupe for Pablo's gafas de nadar (goggles) I totally almost got lost.
We visited PorriƱo center today, which was crazy cool! My host family keeps saying that their town is small but it is like 60 times bigger than Bedford, trust me.
It is festival time! All week there are fun things to do in the center of town, which is fabulous but I wish I had some friends to experience it with. Lupe's sisters were talking to me a lot. I understood what they were saying but I couldn't think of a response very quickly so I just looked really dumb. Awesome.
I start school tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tengo miedo
It is just an orientation kind of thing, we start late and only go for a half hour, but I feel like first impressions a everything. I guess I will just plan to plaster a smile to my face and dive in head first.
I hope they like me. Am I likeable? Of course I am. Maybe.
Olivia and I plan to harass everyone with friendliness until they love us.
I'm really glad I'm not a foreign student studying abroad in America. I feel like in America it's not such a big deal and nobody thinks about hanging out with the confusing foreign kids. Judging from what Lupe said, it seems like there will be more people who want to actually hang out with me after school. Fingers crossed! I guess otherwise I could just become a recluse with Olivia! Aw yeeeeah.
Speaking of Olivia? Here is the link to her blog: www.spainintheass.tumblr.com. Go read it.
Okay, now I must try to sleep.
Tonight I feel so lucky to be here. It is truly disgustingly overwhelming and my lost cartera is stressing me the hell out, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here in my little bedroom with the window open. At home there would be 3000 bugs in here by now but I leave it open all night and nothing comes in to bother me.
Tonight is where the beginning ends and where the real adventure starts.
