Mi Senora

Hola,

I met my Senora (house mom) today. She is a lovely lady, who speaks often and quickly. Right now my roommate and I are doing our best to pretend we understand every word that comes out of her mouth. That is, however, quite far from the truth. I understand about half and at this point am more concerned with understanding what she says than making many worthwhile comments. I will try to talk to her more tomorrow, I suppose. The apartment I am living in is small but very nice. I have my own room with a desk and plenty of space. Having no air-conditioning will take some getting used to but I don't think it will be too bad. I learned today that Spaniards sometimes have two breakfasts, one early and another a couple hours later. Boy did I pick a good place to study. Everyone I have met is so nice. Like I said, I met like ten or so kids at the Madrid airport before we even got to Malaga (where we stayed last night before traveling by bus to Granada), and everyone else I have met are great too. I haven't met anyone on my program I don't like and my roommate is awesome as well, Danielle. Tomorrow we start orientation here in Granada and will travel to the IES center for the first time. I can't wait to explore Granada!

xoxo
