well i don´t have much time to write, but i would like to update everyone on how everything is going. I had a rough couple of days, but once i got settled in to my apartment I started feeling much better about everything! I absolutely love my roommates!! I really lucked out!! One of them is a girl from Denver who is trying to learn Spanish as well, and the other is girl from the south of England... I´m not sure why you say it that way ¨the south of England¨ instead of southern England, but that´s what she says, and it´s much cooler that way isn´t it. It´s so cool because both of the girls are absolute sweethearts, but really cool and fun as well. And they are both as motivated on the course as I am, so that´s nice. We all seem to have similar personalities as well. For example, we all picked our favorite three people in the class last night while we ate our home-cooked pasta dinner, and then compared... we all agreed with each others answers and we even had some of the same choices even though we are all in seperate groups, and are around different people. My group ROCKS by the way! I really lucked out!!! I like everyone in my group, whereas both of my roomies have someone in their group that they just don´t quite ¨get on with¨ (get along with). I have a guy from England somewhere, haha, a guy from Belgum, (don´t know how to sp that) and a woman from california. Both of the guys are just at my age and very sweet, and the lady is a little older, but very nice to chat with. I´ve started saying expressions that i would never have imagined using back in the US because of being around so many Brits. All of our teachers are from englands, along with several of my classmates. We change the groups we teach throughout the course, but my group of teaching peers remains the same throughout. We got lucky and got to start with the upper intermediate students so they have a little more advanced english skills. Sometimes they ask difficult questions that you don´t expect and don´t quite know how to answer. But all in all, it is a good group and fun to teach. The very first student I spoke with was a girl from PERU of all places. I was like, pardon me???? you´re from where?????? she said, PERU; LIMA, PERU. go figure. In fact there are only two foreigners (and by foreign i mean from outside of spain) one man from Romania, and the girl from peru. All of the others are from sevilla. Well, I have to get back to class, but the nice thing is that because it is Spain, everyone is really chill and they us use the internet for email and things. So I will get to post fairly often. Miss you all tons!! and I will update again soon!! love ya, byeeeeeeeeeee!!

So sorry I missed you on IM, Abra, but I'm really glad you're having a "lovely" time. Why were your first couple of days so rough? Sounds like you've found good company for this intensive course! Keep working hard, but don't forget to have some fun, too. Love you, girl.
casto was being a bit Fasto-y i dont think he's all that good at showing people around... i also think he thought he had a month to hang out and didn´t realize that it was more likely just a few days cuz i can't really do ANYTHING during the course
