*sigh*

Yeah, so life's pretty boring over here in Spain, not gonna lie...I've been trying to keep everyone up on the fun stuff, but unfortunately I'm running low on fun stuff to report...

I have been doing a lot of homework, or a lot of procrastinating--that might be more accurate...I'm just as, if not more, sick of homework here than back in the States...the only difference is that when I'm done with hw, I still have to be in Spanish mode...Spanish mode doesn't end over here; it's quite tiring...Like, on Sunday, I was at the church I've attended for the past few weeks...it was all in Spanish...I wanted so badly to understand, but it was just so hard! I tried and tried to pay attention, but it just took it all out of me, and I was exhausted afterward...as were the other girls there...I mean, I need a nap after any long periods of exposure to hardcore Spanish...Spanish that comes with more contextual clues (ie TV, my señora) is not quite so tiring...

Yesterday my prayer group had its first meeting...I was pretty psyched...these girls are amazing! We're going to have a good semester, in my opinion...We met yesterday and went for ice cream; I got mango sorbet ("sorbete de mango"), and it was utterly delicious--my first experience with "ice cream" over here...(it was definitely a little on the expensive side though...€1.70...which is fairly close to $3 i think...for one little bitty scoop)

Um, yeah, so that's about it for what's new...we have our presentation tomorrow for the Tres Culturas class...so we will be working on that tonight...Then I have to prepare for the presentation for Grammar class next week...and the two tests that I have on Monday...yikes...
