Nothing much new here. I got my schedule, which seems to be pretty awesome! I have two classes Monday and Wednesday from 15-19 (3-7) and two classes Tues/Thurs from 9-12:30. It'll be great for traveling on Thursdays! Tomorrow I start my intensive language course from 3-5 for two weeks. I placed into the average level which seems right. I hope it's not too hard, but it will definitely help. I am also trying to set up an intercambio, which is a spanish speaking person you meet up with to practice your spanish and their english. That will be awesome. The weather is always nice but it has been really windy and a bit chilly. Last night my madre Maria tucked me in like a little kid! Here are pictures of my two dogs, Blanca (the white one, blanca means white) and Leo who is my buddy. I also put up a picture of my small but cute room. Today I slept in late and have the apartment to myself. Hopefully I'll meet up with a friend later to walk around the city. Just about everything is closed today, Sunday, but it'll be nice to get to know everything a little better. I finally am learning my way around! It only took a week :) I'm still adjusting, but my friend from school just got here so hopefully I'll see her soon.



Talk soon,



Emily
