Hola!
Today was a fantastic day!
Exciting news:
1. I got a cell phone!! how great is that... I finally feel alive again...but I can only call and not text!
2. I finalized my classes- I'll be taking one on latin american civilization, one on spanish civilization, one on spanish films, and one on history/culture/ literature of madrid!

1. In case you didn't know... In Spain, the biggest meal is lunch (almuerzo). You eat breakfast around 8 or 9, lunch is at 3 and then dinner is around 9.
2. Tipping in Spain is much different than the U.S.- it's more like 5%... how crazy!
I had orientation today, so we got a tour of the school; it's so big and so beautiful!

| This is a famous statue/bench. It is of Cervantes- the author of Don Quijote. It's right outside of the house he was born in. |
 |
| This is city hall! |

| This is a gazebo in the middle of the plaza of Cervantes. The Plaza is a major hang out for people. They hold festivals there among other things; it's the center of the city and its gorgeous |
So that's it. I'm going out for my first time tonight! We're going to the plaza and then walking around to see what the night life is like but I have to be up early in the morning for more orientation tomorrow. We're also going to Madrid!!! I am so excited... the camera is charging and everything.
Adios <3
