This is the....first friday in Spain. It has been a whirlwind of a day, but exciting. Last night i thought i needed to have some homework done so i brought my homework to breakfast. Alas i didn't have to, but i had already done half of the assignment so i felt good about myself. Breakfast was yummy, met some other people from southern. whoop-ee! then we had our first day of full classes. First i had composition. the teacher talked so fast im not sure what really happened, but i have a pretty good idea. The next lady was the one we have for gramatica. That is the class that i thought i needed to do homework in, so i was prepared, and she was happy that i knew what we were talking about and such...so i will being doing that in the future! unless i start doing homework that i do not understand....i will just read the lesson and wait for her instruction. We then had lunch. EMPANADAS con queso! fue muy bueno! i had like 3! so that was pretty yummy. despues (after) lunch we had conversation class where we have to be talking with everybody and him as much as possible. which is kinda hard because you have to think what you want to say...then translate it...and get it out into the free air via your mouth. So that class was exciting, it was very similar to all the spanish classes ive taken, so it wasn't very stressful.
After all the classes everyone split for like another hour until we had meetings for dorm information, which went for 20 minutes...somewhat pointless. THEN mis amigas y yo (my friends and i) went down to Sagunto to walk around and see the streets of our first city in Spain! the experience was fun! we saw groups of old men sitting and watching the people walking by. we were looking for a ice cream shop, but we didn't know where to go and no one else did really, so we just walked around and then finally ended up climbing up a steep road, encountered a few weird dudes on the way (avoided) and got a grand view of Sagunto and we saw the school on the other side of the town. we walked all that way?! it was a pretty good feeling, until we thought of having to walk back. by that time we were hungry and tired. after taking a few pictures, we headed back and stopped at a little market thing and bought some food. i bought a baguette and some strawberry jelly and ate that as we made our way back to the school. the way to and from sagunto was very....treacherous compared to regular sidewalks in the US. treacherous in the sense of walking on a somewhat popular road and walking on bridges and just sketchy places in general. but it was all fine and no one got hurt! We made it to the school in time for vespers! our first vespers was nice. we met some actual spainards! we talked with a few (me and a couple of other girls) and then we talked amongst our friends. blah blah blah...an hour later we all dispersed and went to our rooms for rest...now i am sleepy...it is 12:22am, breakfast is at 9, church at 10, sabbath school at 11. we will see :D
