So...it is now Tuesday night...eeerrr...Wednesday morning and I have been through two days of classes. I was placed in the afternoon classes from 3 until 7 which is just as well seeing I haven't really been going to bed before 1am. Don't worry mom...that's pretty normal for Spain. The first day I was hit hard with the grammer and I've had a headache ever since, but today was easier, and I think tomorrow will be better yet. I think I've learned a lot more these last three weeks then I've been giving myself credit for, even though I hadn't started classes. Some things stream out of my mouth that I didn't even know I knew. My vocabulary has grown ten fold! It's amazing! The class sizes are really small too...only 8 or less people per class.
Matt and I have settled into our piso. Matt's best mate came over for a couple of days to visit and is leaving tomorrow morning. He filled himself up with tapas and cerveza and his suitcase with tabacco and whiskey, since it's so much cheaper in Spain. His mom sent over some bed sheets, a douvet, and some material for curtains, so we wouldn't have to buy anything. She's great! Other then that...all is well.
Things are also looking up on the job front, but I don't want to chat about it and jinx it. As it has seemed these last couple weeks, things will start looking up and then we've been spoon fed a load of poo. So I just hope we have better luck in these weeks to come, or else we may be prematurely reaturning to Britain to work for a couple of weeks. Earning the pound would be nice, but I love Spain and Granada is an amazing city, so leaving early is not an option as far as I'm concerned. Hope the sun is shining in Tahoe. I saw some people on bikes today and thought about how nice it would be to ride around the lake on mine. No complaints though...I'm in heaven as far as I'm concerned.
It's been about 75 degrees fariehiet the last couple of days and cools off nicely in the evenings with a breeze from the mountains. We walked up to the Alhambra just as the sun was setting this evening and then strolled down to one of our favorite tapas bars for a quick tapa and cerveza. We then spent the rest of the evening in a hooka bar in the arab quarter of the city. We returned home around a 11:45 Matt cooked diner and now we're just chilling out. We were considering going back out, but I'm falling asleep over my computer...and Matt closely resembles a zombie watching the TV. On that note...I'm signing off. Hope all is well state side. Hugs and kisses!
