Colegio

Well yesterday, (Friday) was our first official week in Spain, and it has been quite a week.
This time last week, Sabina and I were somewhere in terminal 3 at London Heathrow. *shudder*

School, as always, began on Monday, and I'm not gonna lie, it was a bit overwhelming...
I was still jet lagged and sleep deprived, and couldn't understand anything the teachers were trying to teach.

But the school is beautiful... ripe orange trees, clear blue sky, old Spanish architecture, a chicken coup, and if you stand at the right spot, you can see the view of the city. It's beautiful.

And everyone is so friendly! That whole awkward shy thing doesn't exist here...We're in a class of about 20 kids, and instead of the students rotating classes, the teachers rotate, so we never leave our desks.. except for breaks and lunch of course.

I joined a band! Or, kinda like the equivalent of a glee club, it's great. We play American songs (Alicia keys, etc) in the attic of the school.. some kids play guitar, others drums, and I, along with 5 other girls sing.

Anyways, school is going great and I'll post pictures soon!

  1. Wow! When will we get to see a video of this band? Sounds like you're falling right into place... so glad you're having an amazing experience.
