As Profesora Cochran would say, gracias a Dios porque hoy es viernes! This Friday I am reminded that living in Spain is not quite all fun and games. We start classes today! Thankfully I don't have a 9:00 class as my first one doesn't begin until 9:55! I'm taking Advanced Grammar, Literature of Spain, and History of Spanish Art. I'm pretty excited about the art class! Also that I have a break from 11:45 to 12:35, and am done with class for the day by 1:30. Interestingly enough I have the same profesora in the same classroom for all of my classes: Carmen Suárez. She seems really cool and I think I'll like her!
After siesta today, our school is taking us to a Flamenco show! I'm so excited, especially as we'll begin learning Sevillanas, a type of flamenco specific to Sevilla, in a few weeks. I know a little bit about this style as my sister learned it this past summer at Kirov and also as I've seen some people dancing in the streets!
I've been meeting some really cool Americans in my program, and can't wait to start my intercambio so I can meet some Spaniards. A few of my American friends and I have already decided that we're going to become regulars at this little bar near one of their houses. (Don't worry mom, bars here serve coke, tea, cafe con leche, as well as alcohol, and are a very normal place to hang out with your friends). This bar has wicker chairs, deep red walls, and a nice middle aged bartender with a receding hairline! It's a great place to hang out and talk and laugh.
My dad got my phone set up here and if you would like to call me, incoming calls for me are free! Check with your provider if you can call internationally without racking up ridiculous fees, but my number is 011-34-602231792.
xoxo, Isabel
