First Days!

So I'm not big into blogging but I feel like its a good way for all my family and some friends to read about my trip without having to type the same email over and over (I'm not big into emailing a whole list.)

SO... Plane ride was good considering I slept the whole time. I sat next to someone who lives about 20 minutes away from me, its such a small world! We even have a couple of friends in common. When we got to Madrid, the customs guy was soo cute so I said Hola, so he assumed I spoke spanish so he shot something back very fast and I got nervous :/

But when my host woman, Consuelo, picked me up, she put me at ease. She is incredibly nurturing and calls us her "ninas" or "hijas" (her children.) She speaks absolutely no english so I am getting a ton of practice speaking Spanish. Long story short, she rocks. I'm staying with another Purdue person, Jobie. We're both starting blogs because we're lame. The three of us are in a very nice apartment, and I picked the room with books lining the walls, even though its the smallest. Its nice because there are hundreds of books here, all in Spanish, and many of them classics.

So other than that, there's nothing to post yet. We had school orientation today, and we don't have class this Thursday because there's a fiesta... OLE! :) Anyways, thats all for now, adios!
