FRIDAYYYY

Thank God that it is Friday. It's 9:30 and I am hungry and would like it to be dinner time, please. Oh well, soon and very soon my hostmother will be coming in, telling me it's time for dinner. Let's gooo, cena!

My first day of class, overall, went well!! I'm not doing perfectly with speaking Spanish outside of class and home, but for my first week I think I'm doing alright. We talked about classes today and I basically figured out that I'm going to be taking 2 classes this month, 3 or 4 classes in October, 2 again in November, and only one in December! (One class goes the whole time...the other ones are mostly one or two month classes. Yes, it is weird.)

Today, I met my hostmom's younger brother and his (rather attractive) son, who lives (apparently) on the floor above us now. Naturally, the first somewhat attractive person I meet here is like 18 years old. Whatever, I'm a cougar. (Don't worry, miel, he's got nothing on you :P) Anyway, they were SUPER funny, asked if I knew of any places in the US called Springfield (...from the Simpsons) and when I informed them that I lived close to a Springfield and it was the one that the Simpsons live in (close enough, it was based off of it, right?) they were just dying. They loved it. Ha! They are both super funny (although the uncle is super hard to understand) and I hope they'll be around more because they talk a lot and ask me questions and force me to talk and stuff. :)

Today Zoe and I walked around the city more, found the BEST helado place ever (our new mission is to try every single heladeria in Alicante), and talked about life. I really like her. :) Tonight we're gonna go out for the first time (if my family ever has dinner...I don't want to be out too late) and tomorrow we're road trippin to Valencia with the whole group!

I hope everything is well in the states. :) I only have been gone a week and I feel like I have been gone for SO long! I miss everybody, but everything here is so new and exciting that it's hard to think about it for too long, because there's always something to do or some new adventure to be had! I think about a lot of you, though, when I see different things or hear funny conversations. Hope life is just peachy for all of you! <3
