Isn't it beautiful! It was hot hot hot that day though!
Hola todos!

Ayer visitió la plaza de los toros (pienso que esta como se llama?) Fue un poco disgusto, pero todo fue interesante!

It was definately something that everyone should see once when in Spain---but I don't think I could ever sit through that again!

I tried writing in spanish, but my brain is completly burnt out from a full day of classes en español!!!

This morning I felt really horrible, I had a sore throat and my nose was being all crazy---THEN I turned off my phone because I didn't want it to go off in class on the first day and I couldn't remember how to put it on silent. When I went to turn it back on after class it wouldn't work because it needed the pin. I needed my phone because I had friends calling me---so I went ALL the way home via the metro and walking and it STILL wouldn't work with the pin I had at the house. I also took some dayquil when I went home so at least it was worth it I guess.

After class some of us estudiantes went to el corte îngles and they fixed

my phone there (for some reason when THEY put the code in it worked?)

Anway----

All of my classes are pretty cool- I just cannot sit still!

AND they are in spanish- but it really isn't as difficult as I thought it would be (but again this IS the first day!). Today I could understand everything. I am really excited for my novela española class--the teacher is very passionate and funny. We have to present the chapters we have read in pairs in front of the class in spanish- but I have already done that in my spanish class last semester (actually for the same book "Nada") so hopefully it won't be that difficult.

I found a kid who is going to design my brand for my non-profit today too. He is pretty fun---him, my other friend Elle, and this other kid Chris are (HOPEFULLY) all going to Barcelona this weekend. Elle already reserved the hostel, so if I don't go I will have lost 5 euros en reservations!! Ah!

Tomorrow I am going to a bookstore to buy some books I need for class (so if anyone wants to send money soon, be my

I was going to go out tonight but I am too tired and I feel too sick!!!

AH!

Oh I will take that airborne my mom always tells me to take (if I have it!)
Yes I do! I can't find my one-a-day women pills though!!!

Adios!
