Yep, that's about it. I think I'll just stay here and my friends and family can come visit:)

Just got out of Spanish Civ. a little bit ago, and it was one of the first days I actually paid attention in class, yikes. Given that I took about 5 pages of notes today when I actually listened to him, I figure I have about 25 pages to catch up on (hope my classmates took good notes!) I guess I'm still adjusting to the idea that I actually have to do work here. My life is so fun and free that I almost don't know what I'm supposed to do with myself in class.

In other news, I went for my fourth run of the trip this morning (that's an average of one per week hahah). I really love the nearby park. It's like a four-leveled maze where old people and families come to walk their dogs. I showered, had breakfast with madre, devotions, and headed to class. Madre usually starts preparing siesta lunch around 10:30am or so and we're always anxious to guess what lunch will be that day. Today, I spotted that rotisserie chicken and baked apples in the oven and I literally gasped out loud and ran to tell Allison. It's THAT good. T minus 20 minutes 'til chicken time.
