Nada importante

Well this week sucks. I did horrible on my phonetics midterm and I have had a lot of homework. I am just trying to stay ahead of the game and not get sucked into being sad and wishing I was back taking other classes besides Spanish ones.

Nothing really exciting has happened this week. But I realized I haven't really took any time to write about random things here or my friends here or anything.

So we will start with things I have learned about Spanish and Spain since I have been here:
1. Vale Vale Vale!!! Means okay, its a Spanish expression that no one ever learns in school and when we first got here all of us had no idea what it means but now I use it all the time and can't believe there was a time when I didn't understand what it meant.

2. Si si si si si X100....Si obvisuly means yes. Which I knew. But here, man they use it all the time. On the phone, si si si si, like yes yes yes yes, I understand you. Or yes I want to a lot. It just gets annoying after awhile because there is another word they could use besides si si si all the time.

3. Spain loves the vostros form which ever since the time I have been learning Spanish, my professors have always told me that it was not important and that I shouldn't brother learning it because I would never use it. Well how wrong were they because here I am, in Spain, and don't really know how to use this dumb vosotros form of talking. Dumb teachers.

4. You can wear whatever you want in Spain and no one cares. You won't get funny looks walking to class, when in Spain, anything goes. It is kinda cool. A different since of style and I have deffinatly become more stylish since I have been here.

5. They eat bread like carbs do not matter at all. I love carbs...so I love it here. Bread on the table every night, just to take and eat. I am going to miss that.

6. Paella is the best food on the planet. You can make pallea with anything, chicken, seafood or just veggies. It's a rice dish and my madre makes the best with rice, chicken and green beans. I love it.

7. No one has houses here. Basically everything is apartments unless you live in a pueblo (small town outside the big city).

8. I always knew that they eat dinner later than us in the US but it was really hard for me to adjust at first. Now it is pretty easy and I am scared when I go home, I won't like eating early.

Now onto my friends here,

So I have made friends, while most of them are from the lovely and awesome Green and White...some are from Virginia and other states. It is going to be sad leaving them at the end of this (but I am excited to get back to my friends from home). Anyway Jana and Kaitlyn are from MSU and we all live by each other so we hangout a lot. Sometimes I feel like a thrid wheel though because they are a bit older than me. They are funny and random so they remind me a lot of my friends from home. Then there are 2 Sarah's that I get along with really well that are always from MSU. Both of them are shy but really funny and I love them. Krystin is from UofR and I love her. We are going to London/Dublin together soon. Melissa is from UVA and she is the one I went to Mallorca with. She is smart and nice and shy as well. We get along really well. Anyway then I have Becky and she is from MSU. She is really nice but shy as well. I really like them all and I get along with them all well. I just usually hangout with Jana and Kaitlyn most because we have a lot of classes together and live by each other. I have guy friends too but usually I just talk to David the most. He is also from MSU. He is really funny and we when go out together and are drunk we have the best conversations haha. Anyway...

Well I guess thats it. This weekend I am just staying in Valencia and catching up on my homework...

LOVE YOU
