Up and down-The first day was amazing, but pure culture shock. At first I was excited, but after trying to communicate with my Señoraa for the first 30 minutes, I realized that this was going to be much more difficult than I had expected. The food is very different, but good. Already I have eaten stomach, tripes, and tongue. Classes start on Monday and we are going to Madrid on Saturday. Everyone here is very friendly and the students in the program seem nice as well. And most importantly, the coffee is good. It is much colder than I thought it would be- it snowed the entire first day. Time here is so different too. We eat la comida (dinner in the South) at 3 and dinner around 9:30 or 10 and then go out. Breakfast is at 9, but the Spanish don't eat much. At about 11 or 12, everyone goes to the bars to have una caña (small glass of beer) or un vino (wine) and eat a tapa. ¡Las tapas son tan ricas! (the tapas are very good). Spanish life is so fast-paced and fun- everything is about today. Eat alot, drink alot, and visit with friends and family as much as possible. I'm glad to be here.
