March is not Spring

I think I have been spoiled, I always assumed that the month or March meant spring.
APPARENTLY NOT!

This past weekend we had an AFS Madrid Reunion Camp in the Sierra mountains. It was really great, even with the foot of snow! Actually, especially because of the foot of snow, at least for the California girl. We are down to 10 students in the Madrid area, 6 Americans, 2 Austrians, Elina from Finland, and Yuya from Japan. Our numbers have been so greatly decreased becaue many students only came for a trimester, or 6 months. We are the last ones standing! It is kind of nice this way though, we have all gotten pretty close. We may not all be best friends, but a weekend together with a couple of AFS volunteers, and without our host families, can be a really nice break.

Saturday we took the bus to the youth hostel in the morning, and spent the majority of the day pelting eachother in the face with snow and playing group activities in a little cabin AFS had rented out. We also did a rock climbing wall while it was snowing HARD. It wasnt difficult because it was slippery and wet, your  fingers only freeze offa little bit, and it was fun.  

As for school and things, everything is fine. A bunch of my school friends went on a week long exchange to France, which leaves me with only a handful of kids, but its ok. This weekend I am going to Valencia with a friend, so I will write about that soon. Love, Chloe
