We're back...and we had the most wonderful time! Ok, so Thursday night at 11 pm we all met up at the cross to head out to a bar for drinks before we caught the train at 1:53 am. Unfortunately, all the students here are in their final exams, so all of the bars were closed. Instead we went to the small bar and grill attached to the train station. Most people ordered a beer, in hopes that it would help them sleep. We found that arriving almost three hours early was...

¡HOLA! So we started out the morning extra early, well for us at least, and hoped on the bus at 8:22 a.m. It is still freezing here in Cáceres, especially when the sun isn't up and we have to walk to the bus stop. After a few hours of class, we made our way back to our piso and started to pack for our trip to Lisboa, Portugal (Lisbon) this weekend! Unfortunately we leave at 2 am tonight, which I am not a fan of, but we arrive in Portugal around 8 in the morni...

So today we didn't have any classes, which was nice. We had to meet at the meeting point at 10:15, so we could walk over to the old city where we got a tour from a man who works for the city, I think??

Everything is stone, the churchs are quite possibly the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen, and the aljibes (the wells under the churches and in musems) are the coolest aspects o...

It was the first day of classes!! :) Alice and I got to the bus stop early and got on the right bus (although for a while I was convinced it was the wrong one). Upon arriving at the school, we found the classroom and waited outside until the class started at 10. The first professor was legit. Marisa teaches phonetics and I was very fearful of the class because I don't really understand the point of phonetics. She made it seem like it would be a boring class but ...

¡Hola! Today was a rather low key day yet again. We had to meet at el correo at 9:30 am to board the bus that took us to school. The bus ride takes about 20 minutes and is packed with students on their way to take their final exams. Fortunately, we were feeling a different kind of anxiousness as we went to see the school for the first time. Upon arriving at the school, we met two of our five professors, they co-teach one of our classes. The first talked slowly...
