Just another day...

So, I have plenty of time to just sit here on the computer while I wait for my classes to start everyday, so I might end up paying a lot more attention to this blog than I thought i would...

Hmmm...what´s new? Well, for one thing, keyboards in Spain are different than in the US, like when you go to use the question mark, and it's not there, or the apostrophe for that matter... :) It´s going to take a little getting used to...The weather is still nice and warm and I don't expect it to be any less than 40ºC today either...Quite the change from our unusually cold summer back in Iowa! In fact, our senora told us that they haven't had this hot of weather in like 50 years and that if it's still hot this weekend, the three of us should go to the beach! I, of course, must use sunscreen...Karla evidently is not required to do such...

Classes started yesterday (and I totally forgot that yesterday was Labor Day in the States and tried to make a couple of phone calls at 6:30am (: ), and I think they'll be fine...I´m taking a course called ''Tres Culturas'' (Three Cultures) about the Islamic, Judaic and Christian influences in southern Spain; the second class is ''Teatro del siglo XX'' (Theater of the 20th Century) and it will probably be a challenge---we're starting with a play by Federico García Lorca that´s called Bodas de sangre (Weddings of blood, or something to that effect) and uses lots of symbolic language :S yikes!; the last class is the advanced grammar class, and that should be interesting as well--i hope to learn a lot!!

Please be praying for me--that God will continue to use this experience to teach me whatever it is that he wants me to learn and that I will learn to be more like him through it!!

Thanks all! ¡Que les vaya bien! ¡Que Dios les bendiga!
