Days 55-61 Day 55: Monday, February 24th 2014 Remind me to never again play in a Burger King playground. Kids were all over me, speaking Spanish so fast, and that wasn't even the bad part..I'm too big! So imagine being in a clastrophobic play place, with foreign children all over you. I think that's all I should really say about today. Day 56: Tuesday, February 25th 2014 I want to stay here so bad! It would be so easy if I could just get my visa and I would...

Days 48-54 This week was a really tough week for me, and I wouldn't tell anyone that coming to live with strangers is an easy thing to do. It really is a challenge! I didn't imagine that part of it being so difficult, but so far it's been good and I'm really grateful for all the things that they have done for me. In situations sometimes you have to experience the rough patches to really find the good. Day 49: Tuesday, February 18th 2014 The only exciting thing...

DAYS 41-47 Day 41: Monday, February 10th 2014 I'm excited. I'm getting more and more comfortable here everyday. So today I took Nico to school and rushed home to get ready for school. I left at 10:15, totally forgeting that it only takes 20 minutes to get there, and the class starts at 11, lol. Anyway, when I got there, no one was there. I waited a long time. Maybe I had misunderstood the dude last week. Maybe he meant class is only on Thursdays now, whatever. ...

DAYS 21-26 Day 21: Tuesday, January 21st Hola, tengo mucho sueño. No lo sé por qué. Solo está 21.40 y quiero dormir ahora. I'm sleepy! Today I met Meghan, an au pair who lives up the street from me. She is 20 years old and has been here for 2 months. I really like her! We went to a cafe and both had a cup of hot chocolate. (When you ask for hot chocolate here in Spain, it is LITERALLY a cup of HOT CHOCOLATE-Nothing else) You buy that with churros and dip t...

DAYS 11-15 DAY 11 Today has been very good :) I went to the institute class in Alcala de Henares. It was an hour and a half. Since it was in Spanish, I understood NOTHING. There was a girl from England there, her name is Claire. She translated a little bit for me. Afterwards we talked, and decided to plan a temple trip to Madrid together. All 3 of us: me, Claire and Melisa. Also, to spend the day exploring the city. Yay! After the institute, Cecila dropped me ...
