Valladolid

So here I am sitting in my room listening to some great music with my roommate,
we have so many things in common...from the same music tastes to struggling with some
of the same things, and learning and growing in similar areas! We are having so much fun together...she's great!


OUR MAMA!

Today was officially our first day in Valladolid...we woke up and enjoyed some coffee and cereal for breakfast...funny story, here in Spain they put their coffee-milk-and cereal in one bowl. So our "mama" poured us some coffee then handed us the cereal and we went to the table. We sat their for awhile then went back to ask her for milk and a bowl cuz we didn't know what to do, and she laughed and explained how they do it hear. There are just so many learning experiences here I LOVE IT!

Kristen, Me, Tiffany, Aubrea, Hanna!

So this morning we went and took a Spanish placement exam, which kicked me in the butt, to be honest. We'll see where I get placed...then we took a "survival" tour around Valladolid to get our bearings...and then our Mama picked us up from the main Plaza and we went back home and ate! My friends, whom I blogged about yesterday, Aubrea and Tiffany live around the block, and our "mamas" our friends and so we feel 5 again, because our 'mama' picked us all up, and they'll talk on the phone arranging times for us to get together...its fun..


the place where our Cal Poly Classes will be taught!

after lunch Hanna and I took a SIESTA!!!! the best invention, and something I will get used to very quickly! :) After our nap, we went and met Tiffany and Aubrea on the corner and we walked to the cutest little cafe and sat for a couple hours...laughing, talking, enjoying coffee, using the internet...and STUDYING of course! ;)

Tomorrow is officially our first day of class!!!! Spanish from 9:30-1:30...then break for lunch, then our Cal Poly Classes from 4:00-8:00! Thursdays are our longest days...but I'm excited/nervous for tomorrow!

Ah...I just love this place. Valladolid, is a quite little city. Very comfortable and friendly, safe to walk around in and just so adorable! Many people spend their time outside enjoying the beautiful weather, the parks, taking strolls...its just so precious...alright. to bed i shall go! much love!
