here!

hola a todos! I made it to Valladolid... after a long flight and a few snow storms! I am exhausted and it is almost 9 pm here.. time for dinner soon!
So I only have a little bit of internet... but I will do a quick recap of my travel & the city!
My parents and I left Brookfield around 7 for an early flight out of O´ Hare... well early in my opinion! It was a bummer to say bye to them, but it is nice knowing how much they support me. That flight was delayed a little, but we made it to Philadelphia with plenty of time to get our connection... Some people got delayed, switched flights, and haven´t even arrived, so I am very blessed.
I met really cool people at the airport. The girl sitting next to me on the way to Philadelphia had been to ELEVEN cities in the past two and a half weeks! And I thought I was turning into a traveler! She had been interviewing for radiology medical residency posistins, and she studied abroad for a semester in Australia when she was in undergrad! Cool! Then waiting for my Madrid flight, I met a girl who studied abroad with knowing NO spanish, and came back almost fluenet she said.. She met her husband there, and now lives in Madrid with him!
But my flights were generally uneventful (which I consider a good thing!) I watched the social network... which put me to sleep! I probably slept about four hours on the plane, and then got to the Madrid airport with three hours before our bus to Valladolid! I tried to sleep in the airport and did nto succed much!
We took a bus to here now and my host mom, dioni and a close friend´s daughter, beatriz. They drove us back to the apartment, and Emily and I each have our owm rooms, which is pretty awesome, since most people have to share.
We ate lunch (fish and rice soup, meatballs with sauce .. not spaghetti sauce though and potatoes, and pineapple) surprisingly enough... I LIKED IT ALL!
Then our host mom took us on a tour of the city, and it is really cool. We got to see the school and a lot of restaurants and bars.
Tomorrow we have placement tests and a tour of the city and a welcome dinner....

I really miss everyone... but I am trying hard to stay positive!

ps sorry for spelling errors...  it only spell checks spanish!
