One month and counting...



So it's official, I've been here for over a month now, as crazy as that sounds. Sometimes it feels like it's going by so fast, and other times, like it's going by so slow. Regardless, this past month has been a time of growth in all aspects of my life. Among other things, I've had to become more independent. I've never been this far away from home in such a non-structured environment. It's exhilarating, yet hard at the same time.


I ended up getting to watch the super bowl with some friends on Sunday night. We only stayed until the end of the halftime show, but it was still a fun time. We found a bar with a television in it and asked the bartender if we could watch it and he was completely fine with that. He was really nice, and even made us some popcorn for free. It was actually kinda weird to see so many Americans (on the TV); I must be used to seeing only Spaniards everywhere. The only bad thing was that instead of the commercials, we saw three Spanish guys talking about football, which was kinda a bummer, but I was able to watch some of them on line the next day.


My geography test ended up being super easy, so I did really well on that. I also took a literature test (hopefully I did well on that one too), and today I took an Oral Expression test (which was harder than I thought it would be; the teacher had given us a list of topics, but then stuff that wasn't on that list were on the test). I've got another test coming up in geography, but if it's anything like the last one, I'm not too worried.


This weekend was my latest weekend yet; Thursday night I went to a dance club with a few friends and didn't get home until 4:30. While I was at the club some random guy came up to me and started talking with me, but it was so loud I couldn't tell what he was saying. I'm not sure, but he might have been complementing me on my facial hair. The following night I went out again with friends, and didn't get back until 5. I thought for sure that I was going to be out later than my roommate for once, but I still beat him home by a few minutes. Sunday after church we had a meal at the church with everyone (happens every 2nd Sunday of the month), so I got to hang out with some Spaniards, which is always cool. Well I should get going now; hasta luego!
