HELLO SPAIN

               So I am safe and sound in Spain at the school!! The morning was interesting. I stood infront of a screen for 1 hour to find out my gate # for my flight. They only show a few at a time so it is a pain and I didn't want to miss it haha. My flight was very short but I ended up sitting by a couple (they don't speak English so not sure where they are from) who really enjoyed making out with each other...very uncomfortable! haha Also, it is rediculous how they try to sell you all kinds of stuff on the plane to raise money. I got annoyed by that =P  Landing in Spain was very exciting...I could see all these little towns tucked away between hills and mountains and LOTS of plants. I was nervous walking out of the gate cause I didn't know who would be there to pick me up and so I walked back and forth for a bit, stood outside, then sat at my gate. 15 minutes later (yes, I did start to freak out) and Director of the school showed up. How thankful I was to see him! haha We drove to a train station to pick up 2 other girls from the states before heading to the school. I liked that since it made it easy to meet them since we had to carry on a conversation during the ride. They are both my age! Arriving at the school was insteresting...lots of people got there last night or early this morning so they knew the ropes around here and were all hanging out. The 3 of us who just arrived stuck together for a bit as we figured everything out but then everyone started to gather as a group =]. It is neat to see how we bond over the littlest things...a bunch of the girls and I sat in the dining hall on our laptops since we just got internet and we were sitting in silence but no one cared! A bit of the group went to a soccer game (it was the Director's son's game) while the rest of us stayed back. We went walking around the area and ended up going to a supermarket! Everything is sooo cheap there! You can get perfume for 6 Euros (which is still pretty cheap in Canadian) =P. I will end up buying Nutella there when we go back to have for breakfast instead of plain toast! haha You can also get a lot of bulk stuff for less as well. After walking around for a while it was getting pretty dark and chilly so we came back and hung out in the fireside room. We just talked for a while until dinner (at 8:30 pm!!!!). My first meal consisted of Tortilla (sp?) which is egg and potatoes mixed then backed into a fluffy cake (almost like a Quiche),chicken nuggets,salad,bread,fruits,and sausage. Not bad! haha After dinner I had a worship practice. I got sucked into playing the Piano and singing on the worship team. One of the girls I met from the States is also singing and a guy named Joel from Canada is playing guitar and singing and I think this guy, Johnny, is from Australia? He is playing the congos haha. We shall see how it goes! it was very last minute. Over half of the students are Canadian and the rest are american haha. It kind of sucks since I wanted to meet people from all over the world but now if I make some close friends I can visit them more often =]. Everyone is so unique here so its fun!! I am a bit homesick, I think I am still very tired so it makes me want to curl up in my own bed and get back to my regular time haha but I know after the first week things will be great and I will be in routine. Also, I keep on forgetting that I am taking classes here! haha It isn't just about the friendships.
       I do miss London lots, and home, but I can't wait to experience this culture!! It will most likely be the best experience of my life! Keep you posted!!
