More Blabbing!

So of course I have a lot to say again! I’m a day behind on my blog so it is hard to write everything because I get excited about the new stuff of the day, but hopefully I catch up soon! Yesterday I woke up, took the fastest shower ever, and headed to breakfast in the hotel. I was beyond tired throughout the day which was filled with little seminars about all sorts of new things we will be experiencing. We had a break and went to get café con leche, it was the best one I have had yet! YUM! We continued with the meetings until lunch, on the way our guide got us lost, and it’s not like any of us could help. We had a delicious potato thing (haha sorry I don’t know the name) first followed by paella. For those of you familiar with the commercial about ‘pa-ella’, well I wish I never tried it. It was full of seafood: EW! There was a whole miniature octopus in it, which made me want to throw up the potato thing. The good news is I was able to get a diet coke :) We then had fried potato slices with pork: potatoes were delicious, pork just okay. Dessert followed and we all tried flan and a couple other dishes, nothing too spectacular. Then we headed back to the CIEE building for more meetings. However, something good came of our return, THEY FOUND MY SUITCASE!!! I was so relieved, but then I realized I had to wheel my suitcase from the CIEE building (why it was delivered there I will never know) all the way to the hotel on narrow, cobblestone sidewalks. I felt like the biggest nerd, but at least I had my things! After the meetings we had a little interview with our soon-to-be professors of the intensive language course. Luckily I went second, so I was able to return to the hotel for some much needed free time!

When I got to the hotel, my WiFi in my room was working and I got to chat with my parentals for awhile!!!! FINALLY! I then got dressed and met everyone in the hotel for dinner. After dinner we walked to a Flamenco show, which was really neat. I kind of felt like it was a mix between interpretive dance and tap dance. It was awesome watching them dance, and they were so fuerte (strong) in their movements! After the show we went back to the hotel and many people chose to go out, but I needed to stay in and get some sleep. Also, I talked to my mama and my aunt on Skype for quite sometime which made me very happy, but miss everyone at the same time. I finally went to bed and slept like a baby, until my alarm so rudely went off this morning. We are always so busy and it is hard to catch up on sleep. I feel like I have been here for at least a week, and it is only day 3! Crazy! Hasta Luego!
