A Few Days Later

So, here I am, a few days after the hike, relaxing back at school. The summer sun still beats on us every day, and the sun still rises after I leave the house (I don´t leave early, only around 8:15, but because of the mountains, the sun doesn´t come out until about 9). My classes are nice, so far so good.

I mean, honestly, nothing exciting to tell. After the hike, I came home and slept for about 12 hours, solidly. I woke up and read some of my book and did some homework and went out with a few classmates for cafe. A nice and LAZY sunday.

I really don´t have much to say today, but hopefully, tomorrow, I will have more exciting news.

I guess, I am just finally settling into Spanish life, slow, lesiurely, incredibly hot.

I´ve been reading everyone´s messages and responses! Its so great to hear from all of you!! I miss you lots!!! I feel bad not responding to anyone specifically, but I am trying!!! I´m glad this whole blog plan worked out, and being able to share with you all my stories as soon as they happen is great!! I want to hear about whats happening back home!! What is GOING ON!!!?? I know all about the wallet incident now (all I can say is WOW WOW WOW !!!) and how the general life is, but seriously, I feel that everyone should maintain a blog. I will religiously check all of yours and see what is happening back home... Its a great way to stay involved in the lives of those we love...oh behold the magic of the internet.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I truly love and miss you all!! Its still tough sometimes being here, and seeing all the posts and knowing you guys are thinking of me as much as I think of you is great to know!! Sorry, this is growing increasingly cheesy, so I will stop now, but hope all is well!

Miss you lots, Love you more,
me

Hey Zaika

Glad to hear from you even if you may not have too much to say. It's nice to have regular uneventful, and therefore low stress days after intense ones.
I re-read your mountain post and looked at your pictures again. Your room looks so Spanish - this weeping Saint, and the bed and the spread on it. Is it Michelangelo to the left of your weeping friend and that plastic(?) angel? It's so weird to see your stuff (inside the wardrobe) in this completely Spanish context. You should get someone to take a picture of you Also, you should take a picture of your seniora, her daughter etc. I mean post your pictures and pictures of people around you.
Tell your seniora you mom said "hi". Can you do that? What about your senior? Does he ever talk to you? Do you see him often?
I was thinking about your trip to Lisbon. Somehow from here it seems that it may be easier for you guys to take a bus. How many of you are going?

Yesterday they had a marathon of "Bizarre food" of whatever it's called with Andrew Z. on Travel channel. Papa and I were watching that episode on Spain and thinking about you.

That's it for now - just some random thoughts.
Enjoy your Spanish summer!
Love you and miss you!

hey tetka

i've been checking this site every hour or so. waiting impatiently for a new installation. it does not have to be extremely exciting and/or super upbeat. anything at all would be fun to read - from whatever you just ate to description of what's going on in your computer room or internet cafe (or who are the people there) to what's going on in your classes and how Spanish teachers (or classes) are different from American. The bottom line is: whatever you can think of to write about - we are looking forward to it.
....no pressure or anything...:)
