Por favor, para el agua!

This entry is going to be short and sweet.

It ended up snowing and raining on Monday, which was supposed to be my first day of class. So, classes were canceled because Spain shuts down when there is an inch of snow. So, I decided to go back to bed for a bit only to be awoken by little Manuel running into my room and flipping my light switch on and off. Que precioso. I decided I needed to see the light of day, so Kristin and I decided to walk around calle mayor. The snow was really pretty, and adults and kids alike were outside playing in it. I ended up finding a really cute winter hat and earmuffs in some small store we went into! Woo!

We stopped into a fabulous chocolateria and churroria where we got delicious hot chocolate and a pile of churros for 2.5 euros. Not bad. The chocolate caliente was more like a melted semi-sweet Hershey bar rather than any kind of swiss miss you get in America. (I said the post would be sweet). It was so beautiful, I wish I took a picture.

The snow turned into rain for the next few days. On Tuesday I realized my grammar teacher's way of getting us to talk is to ask us about our novios, or if we don't have one, our ideal man. Its a bit much, but the Asian girls are hysterical when they talk about their novios back home. There is either a severe language barrier, or they are just mean. My bet is on mean. A bunch of new people came to our class this week so I look forward to more awkward storytelling.

We had to buy (search for) a bunch of books for the Maryland class, and two course packets. They all sound like exciting reading. We did learn that sometime in March we will be going to Sevilla overnight which I am super excited about. There is also a flamenco class on Tuesdays I signed up for I am looking forward to!

I decided to stay in tonight and start some of the massive amounts of reading due next week, and you can probably guess how well that's going. We are going to the Palacio Real in Madrid on Saturday, and I think it will be a good time even if we can't sleep in. I plan to take more pics and buy a new memory card in Madrid, so I will post those in a few days! As for now, I'm off to go read some Cervantes! (and then reward myself by watching millionaire matchmaker online.)

Hasta Luego. (Like I said...short)
