Mis clases, Escuela, y otras cosas

Hola todos!

I started my classes on Monday. This week we don't have school Thursday or Friday due to some Saint holiday. We have every other friday off of classes and the classes we have on Friday will alternate. One Friday we will have on Monday and Wednesday Class and then the next friday we will have off and then we will have Tuesday and Thursday class on the next Friday. I am enjoying my classes a lot. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have Converstation and Phonetics, I also had Survey of Spanish Literature 2 but I am going to drop it. Tuesday and Thursdays I have Composition and Literaary Analysis. That is why I am dropping Survey of Spanish Lit 2. I feel that I don't have enough skills for it since I haven't taked my composition class yet or a large reading class. The school we are at has about 70 students in this program, so as you can imagine, the classes are some. I feel like I am in high school all over again. Some of my classes only have 10 students in them. But it is a lot easier to speak and pratice Spanish with less people. Overall I like school. It's something to do during the day and everyone is usually here most of the day because of the internet and there are things to do here. Every Monday night at 7, the schools shows a Spanish movie. On Monday we watched Pans Lybrenth. I had never seen it before. There were English subtitles. Overall it was a good movie, it was funny because somethings what the Spanish meant and what the English subtitle said was a bit off. They would say things and I noticed that it was translated wrong.

So my school life is going well. Not much else has been going on besides school. I've had longer converstations with my host mom now, so thats nice. I found out that she is a History of Art professor and her husband is a english language teacher at the high school. I thought that was pretty neat. For dinner we have had things that I actually like. I was really nervous about the food but it seems that I am going to be okay. Sunday night we had this kinda weird dish but it was just eggs sunnyside up with bacon and cheese in it. Monday night we had chicken noodle soup, but it was just noodles and the brooth no chicken, and fish fillets. Last night we had hamburgers and chicken. I had a piece of chicken, which was small, but tasted delicious and then a hamburger. They don't put cheese on them or do they use buns. That was kinda off but I just used ketchup. For dessert, they always have fruit. Its odd. No cookies or anything but fruit. My dad would not survive. Valencia is famous for oranges here so they usually eat oranges after dinner. I never eat dessert because I am always full.

I watched the inaguration of Obama yesterday on Cnnlive. When I got back to my host home, my dad was watching high lights on Cnn. Some had voiceovers in Spanish and others were just in English. It was fun to watch it. They really like Obama here. Everyone will always ask you if you like Obama more than Bush. So it's a good thing I do otherwise I am not sure what would happen to me. Haha

Some friends and I are going to travel this weekend since we don't have school tomorrow. We are leaving Thursday morning for Sevilla. We will come back Sunday night. We are taking the train. It's an 8 hour ride. But it'll be nice to see the country more. I'm excited to go someplace else. When time goes fast, I forget how much I miss home, my parents, sister, and friends. I like it here a lot. I just wish that everything I loved was here.

Well thats it for now I suppose. I miss you all and thanks for those of you that actually read this.

Love you!
