Here's a pic for ya of Mari Carmen, my lovely hostess who shares her apartment with me. She cooks my food, does the laundry and dishes, and is also interesting to talk to. We watch Spanish game shows together. It's a pretty sweet deal.My two grammar classes on Monday/Wednesday were a bit easy, so I asked to be bumped up to the higher level, a pretty challenging one for me. But hey, Í´m here to learn as much as possible!
So now on Monday/Wedn I have advanced language class from 10-11:20, then sociedad española from 1:10-2:30. Tho that means I still have to get up at 7:45... Commuting takes a long time. Then I´ll home for lunch by 3, I guess.
And Tuesday/Thurs is the same. An awesome art history class 10-11:20, then an interesting linguistics class from 11:40-1. Not a bad schedule at all. Fridays are reserved for excursions. This week: to the Prado museum for the first time!!! My art class includes 5 free guided tours this semester... love it.
In other news, it´s hovering right at freezing and snowing like crazy! They normally don´t get snow here... ppl freaking out. But mainly that just means I will continue to wear my coat pretty much at all times, and still be cold. There´s a radiator in my room, so that´s fine, but not in the halls or bathroom. No heat at all. Seriously. And as long as I´m whining, I´ll mention that yes, I am hungry right now. As always. Time for third breakfast (second breakfast was an orange an hour ago)! Two hours till lunch...I love the Metro. I know my way around all three stops near my apartment and I don´t get lost anymore (usually, ha). Soon I will figure out the bus system! Adiossss
