two weeks.

 Two weeks I will not be in Spain. Two weeks I will be home. Two weeks I will become Americanized again. Two weeks I will start a new routine. Two weeks from now I will start a new chapter of my life.


Time here in Europe is going so fast.

Happy Fourth of July.

I really hate that I'm in a foreign country on the fourth. But my day has been pretty good.

I started my new classes - that wasn't so fun.
I hate my schedule but it will keep me occupied. M-F Spanish Lit. 9-10, gym 10:30-12:30, Spanish Civ & Culture 1:30-2:30, lunch 3-4, Spanish Intensive Language 6-8.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm going to start going to a salsa class!
On Wednesdays I'm going to a session of "intercambios", which is when people from Spain and people that speak English meet at a restaurant to speak in Spanish and English. We practice our desired language!

For dinner I ate a at Japanese restaurant, in a Spanish country, on the day of Independence for the United States. What's wrong with this picture?
Eh, oh well, it was good sushi.
Then Nicole and I went and got frozen yogurt. However, it didn't seem so healthy with all the chocolate, peanuts, trouffle drizzle, and chocolate pieces in it.
There goes my so-called diet!

This month has so much for me to look forward to. Next weekend I'm going to Portugal! Then in 3 weeks I'm going to Germany. Then in a month I will be home!
