as the title suggests not only do i have a new charger, i have a smaller waist. i'm sure this is from all the walking i do [20 to class every day, 20 mins home, plus going places at night, so at least 2 hours of walking every day, not including our excursion trips and tours]. but also, the eating schedule is soooo odd here. plus im doing workouts. so. anyone looking to shave off some weight... spain is the place for you :]
anyways -
Spain is better. Estoy aprendido mucho and tengo mas confianza en mi abilidad a entender espanol. [i am learning a lot and have more confidence in my ability to understand spanish].
Class and meals are 95% spanish. the 5% english is when i cheat and talk with other english speakers :P i can speak more fluidly and with a larger vocabulary. i can understand much easier when someone speaks to me. even my writing is getting better. Dad, the money was worth it :]
i've made a really good friend with a girl name Joanne from Scotland. she is in my class and we hang out every day. Sadly, she'll be leaving Friday to go to the south of spain and work in a hotel :/ i'm not sure how i'll carry on the last 3 weeks without my little pal :P
speaking of 3 weeks. i cannot believe my 6 weeks here is nearly half over. i have seen two beautiful cities other than Salamanca [where i live] called Avila and Segovia. both have 'trademarks' in the city. i'll make a 'pictures only' post soon and show you what i mean. one has a massive wall that looks like its from a fairy tale, the other has one of the largest and most successful/impressive aqueduct systems in the world, built by the romans.
this weekend we have no trips planned through the school so it will be a good opportunity to catch up on all the papers i have to write in spanish for my credits at Bethel [now that i can charge up my computer!!]
next post, i'll try and remember to post all the quirky cultural differences.
hasta luego! dios te bendiga!
