I'm so excited that I am finally here! My new school, Suffolk University, is a small campus branched from the main campus in Boston. The "campus" is more like one building but it is cute and cozy nontheless. Orientation was boring and not worth talking about except for our visit to the Prado Museum! It was amazing, I never knew that art could be so influential. I have so much more respect for artists after witnessing such talent and skill. It also made me love Grammy's paintings more than ever and I wish I could have them all!
New friends have been made and the staff/faculty seem nice...BUT class hasn't started yet so that impression could quickly change. Tomorrow is the first day of classes and I'm actually really excited to learn about the history and politics of Spain and some marketing and business law too!
I went out for the first time last night for a friends 21st birthday. Fabulous sangria and music made for a successful first of many late nights! The spaniards are crazy. I do not understand how they party till the wee hours of the morning and then function for work/school the following day. I don't think if I will ever adjust to their "no sleep" lifestyle.
My host mom, Amelia, is a sweetheart but unfortunately speaks NO ENGLISH. AT ALL. I've been having a hard time speaking but I can understand pretty well so hopefully I will pick it up asap. I must to pick it up asap, so pray for me!
