First Day of School!

Well, kind of school. These next two weeks I'm in an intensive spanish class for three hours a day. My class is from 12:30-3:30, which is prime lunch and siesta time, but I can't complain because I am finally able to sleep in a little. I'm going to attempt to designate a portion of my mornings to going on runs around the city. This morning I went on a run through the small, winding, cobblestone streets of el centro. Of course, I got lost. The worst part of getting lost is thinking that you know where you're going, but when I found myself passing the exact same cafe three times I knew something was wrong. Eventually, I found my way out of the corn maze and made it home for breakfast.

Class was not too bad; there are 15 of us and we spent most of the three hours getting to know each other. It is a long time though! I can barely sit through a 50 minute class at Madison so this is going to be a challenge.

After class I stopped by the mall to find a jacket. My North Face coat screams "American,"so I'm trying to find something a little more fashionable. Originally, I thought that Sevillans would be able to spot me out right away as an American, due to my pale skin, but the city is very diverse. I've seen many people that are tan, pale, blonde, brunette, and even some gingers! Hopefully, once I become a little more fashionable, I can blend in as a Sevillan as well! Sadly, I didn't find a jacket that I loved, but the quest will continue!

This evening I had pasta, salad, and bread and relaxed with Virginia. I also had some homework- yuck! The days are going to start becoming more routine, which makes me happy, as I really like being on a schedule!
