I´M HERE!!

Alright!! so i´ve made it! I arrived in Madrid yesterday around 8am (2am indiana time), i found the other student that I´m living with, and took a 35euro taxi (about 40-some dollars), and got all settled into my little half-dormsize room. My host family is really nice and we´ve already had an orientation thing at the school. Classes don´t start until the 4th of February, but we have meetings everyday, and a ¨mini-class¨starting next week. This weekend the group is taking us to Toledo.. I´m not sure why, but let´s roll with it.

The first thing that really struck me as weird is that they eat supper at 9.30 pm!! How´s a girl supposed to not eat between 2pm and 9.30 pm!? haha, well, the other student, Jackie, and I definitely found a little food store really quickly. I live in an apartment in a strip of little stores.. it´s like.. a big gate inbetween a little grocery store and.. i don´t even know what´s on the other side actually.. some other little store. I´m using an internet cafe at the moment, but will be able to use my own computer in a few days, in which time, i´m going to skype anyone that has downloaded skype and is on!! so get it and get on!! my screen name on there is my first initial and last name.

umm.. I haven´t taken many pictures yet, but i´ll get on that. :) I´ve taken the subway, the bus, and walked a million miles (we missed our bus stop) but all´s well so far! I´m going to have to start my apartment hunt soon, so wish me luck and i´ll keep in touch!

love you guys
