Spain is probably the best thing ever! All the kids in my program are really awesome, the city is fabulous, the night life is sweet, and overall, I absolutely love it. We are right next to the beach and the city has everything we could ask for and more.
I have already started making some travel plans with other students (tentatively) and it sounds like we are going to be going on some awesome trips. One of my friends has family that live in Marseilles, France. AMAZING! So hopefully that will be awesome and I'll be able to improve my French. My friend Dan is planning on going to Germany for Oktoberfest, which I wanted to go to, so I might do that if I can find a cheap flight. Also on the list are Morocco, Italy, London (perhaps) and possibly any other place that sounds like it's worth visiting (which they all are). I also am hoping to do some traveling within Spain to really get to know the country better. I will hopefully live here one day, so I would like to get to see as much of it as possible. The people here are so nice (so far) and I absolutely LOVE the way they speak Spanish. Spain Spanish is the way to go. It's beautiful.
Currently, we are just going through a bunch of orientation stuff, meeting our host families tomorrow, and attending some lectures about the program. Next week we will take placement exams and begin our two-week intensive language course, where, hopefully, my Spanish will improve some more.
It is nice to have American friends, but hopefully when regular university classes begin, I will make friends with some Spaniards. That should be interesting and really fun and help me learn more Spanish!
Hopefully everything in the States is good, I want to hear from all of you!
¡Ciao Ciao!
