Hey team, sorry I've been slightly MIA, my week just hasn't had too many exciting bits for you, so I'm combining them into one entry today! Woo! So, here's the hilights from the last few days!
- Went to an intercambio where there are students like myself who are learning Spanish, and locals who are learning English, and we all get together and attempt to speak real good together. Actually, this one was pretty good because we're all so advanced and awesome like that. And we got free tapas & soda, always a win. It was slightly awkward, but overall pretty fun.
- I ate more ice cream. Please see the photo below to understand why it's so difficult to walk by all the ice cream counters here and not have some! Plus, it's sooo warm walking around town all day. It's quite the dilemma.
| Today I got dulce de leche but my other favorites include lime & mint. I want to try apple and orange though! |
- I had to take a test for class. Boooo. I did alright on it though, just no one loves tests.
- I registered for my "real" classes! These are the ones at the actual university, not with International Courses, which my last two weeks of class have been. Those are kind of a joke (they're two weeks long and we spent half of that watching YouTube videos in my culture class...) but the ones I just registered are the real deal. So I ended up with three culture classes: Hispano-Hebrew Culture, Music in Spain, and Music of the 18th Century. Something like that. Not sure why I have two music classes, it just kinda worked out that way. Heh. And I'm taking intro to French, so I can start on my totally random 3rd language. But it seems like a fun schedule. The nice thing about being here is that I can pretty much take whatever classes I want, and try new things like a new language or a random music class, because I came in with enough AP credit that there aren't specific college credits I have to fulfill.
- I went to Karaoke Night at this bar near my classrooms. And, while we were looking through the book (for things other people were going to sing) I jokingly pointed out the Celine Dion song from Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On". Obviously, that led to me being onstage singing that song. Awkward. Fun. But awkward.

| Yeah we're on their Facebook page, we didn't take this |
- That's most of what I have for this week! I also went to a bullfight today, but unfortunately I don't think I'm going to have the time to write everything I want to about that tonight. Stay tuned for photos of that tomorrow!!
