Hola.
I am in Sevilla now!!! It is exactly my type of city.
I wake up eat breakfast. Lunch is a family affair todo los dias.
I haven´t seen the old town yet.
I bought my first piece of spanish clothing. A red shirt. Apparently red is an important color to have for birthdays and the holidays.
I went swimming yesterday. Yes lap swimming. It was great to finally exercise. Traveling is worth it, but you can´t exercise and then I feel fat, tired, and fatigued.
I am a little sore because I am out of shape. Practice wasa totally easy but I´ll have to stay in the lower level for a while,
1. So I get in shape because if I move up a level with Javi (my host brother) I will die right now. They swim REALLY fast!!!!! And they swim a lot.
2. I need to understand more spanish. It is hard for me to understand as it is but in an echo-ing place with everyone talking. It is very hard to understand the coach.
We filled out all my school forms last night. My host dad, and Marta (sister), and I went to the colegio this morning but We have to go back tomorrow.
It was a little weird to see boys all over the place. I meet my gym teacher. And el Director. Or the PRINCIPAL.
I think he is teaching one of my classes? Who knows.
I´ll post my schedule but It does have a mix of hard and easy classes. I think I have to read Shakespeare this year. I don´t know if I am in an advanced english class? Who knows.
This is all a new experience.
It is also funny to notice a few differences between the two countries.
1. The American tv shows obviously have voice overs. I am watching Lizzie MaGuire but her voice sounds like she is 50 years old. The voices do NOT sound age appropriate. Except for Phineas Y Ferb. The character voices sound correct.
2. They eat bread. LOTS OF BREAD. I usually have toasted French Bread with EVOO every morning.
3. All the windows have wrought iron bars. My school literally looks like a prision. Great.
4. They floors are all marble or concrete. You will see small rugs here and there. But I have never seen a carpeted room.
5. The key boards are different. they have weird keys. Some I can show you but others you´ll just have too see. The Shift key is just an up arrow. They have these keys. ñ ç ¿ ºa €
Ill post my pictures when everything can finally charge.
-adios
