Random Things

Hola again!
Just some random things that I am going to write today so I remember them for myself.
So School this week has been good. We have class today, Friday, which switches every week. So next Friday we won't have class. Anyway my classes are going well. I have Phonetics, Compostition, Literary Anlaysis, and Converstation. My converstation class is my favorite. Phonetics is my least favorite. The stuff we have for homework is easy, just reading out of a book, but in class not only is it boring but we have to pronounce things in front of everyone. Sometimes I feel dumb when we have to do that. Oh well, everyone has issues. As long as I pass the class then I don't care. Converstation is fun. We just sit in a circle and talk. The professor, Ana, is really funny. Composition is going well. We have our first essay due tuesday, its about my life if the US. We already peer edited it and last night I had my host mom read it for me. She corrected a few grammar errors. So I think that I will do just fine in that class. Literature Analysis is going fine. We just finished our first book, Ana en el Tropico. All we really do in there is read and answer questions. Sometimes it is hard to understand some of the book but the class is still easy so thats good. I have a quiz next week in Phonetics and in Conversation. But I am sure they will go fine.

I also got an intercambio. Thats the thing I wrote about earlier where I will met with a native Spanish speaker that knows English and we will switch our time between both. The girl is 20 and also majoring in education. I am excited. Hopefully we can be friends and hangout for than just for the intercambio.

I talked to my host sister for a while yesterday. My host parents went to the opera. They showed me how to warm up my food in the microwave, I had susuage and these potatoe things with cheese inside. They were really yummy. I ate dinner with my sister and we talked. That was nice. I am deffinatly feeling more comfortable in their home day by day so hopefully by the end of this I feel even greater! I still miss my parents and friends and sister but at least I am in tune with the fact that I am here and I am enjoying my time. The weeks go by way faster here than they did while I was studying at MSU. It's kinda weird but I know that my time here will pass fast.

I'm exicted to stay the weekend in Valencia. The super bowl is Sunday and I know there is someplace to watch it but I don't know that I will. I need to ask my family if they are going to watch it and my friends from here. Anyway well I have class soon so I will talk to you guys later.

LOVE YOU!!!
