School!

First, I want to say THANK YOU! to everyone who has wished me luck with facebook posts, messages, e-mails, prayers and more! It makes it so much easier here, knowing that people all over the world care about me and are praying for me! And now a quick update...

So.... I´ve been in Spain for almost a week! It seems to have gone by really fast (because everything just seems like a blur!), but it also seems like we´ve been here longer (because it´s starting to feel more natural..). I still have problems reading our map... It´s not difficult to read, I´m just bad with maps!, but I always seem to manage to find whereI need to go.

It seems like so much has happened this week, that it is hard to fit it all in a blog post! Well, my family doesn´t have internet, so that makes it harder to update my blog and stay connected, but we live close to an internet shop thing, so it´s still possible to skype fairly easily, which is nice... So today, I´m just going to write about school, because we have dinner soonish and tonight we are going out! I went out last night, too and met some Spaniards! It is so fun to talk to people in Spanish here!!

SCHOOL:
I LOVE school! I placed into level 5 (advanced)... There are six levels, but we think that levels 3-5 are all the same, since they are all titled advanced. All of t heprofessors here are so nice, and patient. The classes are pretty fun, too. I have seven classes total: art (I like art so far! On the first day we listened to Empire State of Mind!), history of spain (I´m not a huge fan of history, but our professor is really cool and super into history, too!), geography of spain (at first I thougth that I wouldn´t like this, but the first few classes made it exciting, becaues a lot of the places we learn about are places that I might watn to visit in the future when I´m here!), grammar (I LOVE GRAMMAR! I love the rules and everything about grammar. Our professor for this class is probably my favorite, too!), conversation (I think this class will be fun, but we have to memorize vocabulary for exams, too... But it doesn´t seem too hard.), literature (I have the same professor for this class as conversation - She is more quiet than the other professors.), and culture(My professor for this class is literally INSANE! But it seems like it will be an interesting class! I already learned not to say thank you for a lot of smaller things, like getting food from our host mom and after getting drinks in a bar, because it´s their job... Interesting! But I still say gracias a lot anyways.. I feel rude otherwise!)
I have class monday through friday... Usually between 930-130, but next week I don´t have as much class! We stay with our level all day, except in conversation we mix with other people, which is fun too!
So that´s school! I probably have around two hours of homework this weekend... So not as much as Eau Claire! But it has for sure hit me that these are real classes!

So that´s school! Let me know what you guys want to hear about so I can write about that instead of just random topics!!

Thanks again for all of the love that is poured into my life!
