It's Snowing!

Sunday was a lazy day indeed. I Skyped my parents and that is about the only interesting thing that happened. For dinner though, we had tortillas with potatoes and vegetables and they were delicious! I definitely will miss those when I go back to America... in 4 months. So I have plenty of time to enjoy them before then :)

Monday:

Today was my second day of grammar class "class" because the first day of classes was all syllabus days. We relearned ser and estar and reviewed the uses. It reminded me of middle school, but it's always nice to have a refresher course. In my Islamic culture class, it was our first real day of class, and I already am not a fan of it. The teacher talks all of the place, constantly jumping from subject to subject and I have no idea what I am supposed to be writing down. I am hoping that it is just because it was a background day and that the rest of the classes will be easier to follow.

When I got home, Mila was not home, but later when she got home she was not happy. She got the water bill and the month of January was double what her usual monthly usage is. She said that the company sent her a warning telling her that if we keep it up, they will limit the hours and times that we are allowed to use the water. This came as a shock to me because we shower every other, or every 3 days. And we have to turn off the water when we are soaping up. The toilet could have put the bill over the edge because it runs a lot and doesn't seem to ever stop. Another possibility could be the amount of laundry she does because she does have 3 girls living with her. Hopefully now we can figure some things out so we use less water and don't get our usage limited.

I ate lunch and left for class. As I was walking to class, it started to snow. But the snow was not like Midwest snow, it was in balls. It reminded me of sleet or hail, but not as hard. The Spaniards had their umbrellas up (why!?) and some of them were stopping to take pictures of it. I guess it's not something that happens as often as it does back home.

In my writing and oral class, we had a good time! We drew famous people using new vocabulary that we learned to describe faces. We then drew our partner for a game we are going to play on Wednesday. After that we learned a TON of new adjectives to describe personalities, and used the Simpsons characters as our examples. The time flew by and the class was over in no time!

I am now sitting in the courtyard area of school waiting for my class to begin in an hour. After class, I have my meeting with Lourdes, my intercambio partner. I am nervous and excited! I will write another blog post about how it goes :)
