Feeling Hot...In A Fever Way

This week was really eventful!
I started hip-hop classes, hung out with friends at school, and continued to explore Boadilla Del Monte.

Scratch that, that was what was supposed to happen this week. Instead, I got sick, and have been home since Tuesday. The most interesting thing that has happened to me so far since last Saturday is that after 10 hours of sleep at night, I managed to take an 8 hour nap. Being home gave me time to do some reading, practice Spanish, and hone my movie-pirating skills.Yay for being sick!

On the bright side, I am feeling better and will hopefully go back to school tommorow, where I will have my first Danza (bellydancing) lesson in Spain.

Also, after it became apparent that the "sink or swim" method is not the very best way to learn a foreign language, Cristina and I decided it would be a good idea if she spent an hour every day tutoring me in Spanish grammar and such. What luck, having a teacher as a host mom!
Fact of the Day: Swine Flu in Spain is called Grip A (pronounced greepah), and it is talked about, jokingly and seriously, in Spain, just as much as it is the U.S.

Another related fact, instead of reading anagrams as the actual letters, they are pronounced like words here. No one knew what I meant by YMCA, until someone pronounced it "yimkah."

I also finally have the pictures from the Baptism;

I don't think our priest was old enough...

93, still a youngster.

Breaking News!
Literally 10 seconds ago Alejandro called me to see if I was feeling better, but then he also told me that the psycho Greek teacher ditched the school! Out of nowhere, he just left. I'm not sure whether to overjoyed or scared that we might get a real Greek teacher who makes us do stuff.

Love,
