Just another couple days in Spain!

The last couple of days have been good. Like I said in the last entry, it snowed on Sunday night. Apparently it snowed a lot throughout Spain, which is pretty rare, especially here. Everyone was freaking out, and the weather/snow was all over the news. The funny thing was we didn't even have that much. On Sunday night by the time we went to bed the only snow that was left was on the cars. On Monday morning, we went to school and it was kind of slick. We had grammar class, which wasn't bad, and it was funny because our profesora, Maria Jesus, was telling us how fantastic the snow was, and how the last time it snowed in Alcala was probably 2000 or 2001. So it has definitely been awhile since these Spaniards have seen snow. Then we came home after lunch and I had to work on some things for today. I took a siesta, even though I probably shouldn't have, then we went down to the internet cafe. I tried to put some more pictures online, but the computers down there hate me, so of course it froze again. I am getting pictures online, will give the link when everything is up to date though. Came home, did a little more homework, etc. And other than that I can't really think of anything exciting that happened.

Today we went to school and 6:30am came way to early, as it tends to every Tuesday and Thursday. Our profesor in our lit class is a little too enthusiastic and animated for 8:30 in the morning, and no one really likes that class. It kind of drags on, and it is one of the ones that makes your brain hurt. Luckily though, I am really glad I took the 3 Spanish classes last semester, I feel like they really prepared me well for being here now, especially the lit and comp classes I took. I kind of have a clue what is going on because some of the stuff we have been talking about recently, I learned in my classes last semester. Then let's see, we got our new bonos for the month (transportation passes), I can't believe tomorrow is already Februrary 1st, hard to believe. We have been here almost a month, it certainly doesn't seem like it. Nothing too noteworthy happened in class today. Then we came home, I did a little bit of work, and then went to our cafe to meet Lance and Ebets to work on our "what is poetry" essay and poem analysis that is due tomorrow for, surprise, our lit class. But I think we pretty much know what to say and stuff so that is good. We also just hung out and talked for awhile. We have been researching planes, trains, etc. for all of our different trips. I cannot wait until all of the planning stage is over and we are just done with everything. I am so excited to get to Paris, I can hardly contain myself, even though it is not for almost 2 months. When I got home, Juani and I had a heart to heart, and it was really good. We were just talking about different things and she is so nice. Tomorrow we have our dance class, so that should be fun. That's pretty much it for now!

Oh, and by the way, MIAMI HOCKEY IS NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION! (had to include that! I think they are doing so well since I am not there this semester! Of course!)
