Cold and Lost

It snowed more yesterday right around when Liz and I tried to find the other school where we had class this morning. We never found it because we managed to get ourselves really lost and ended up back in la plaza mayor. We were close to finding it when the guys we were supposed to be meeting said they were lost and we had to go back to Burger King to meet them. It was really hard to walk down the sidewalk because the snow was really wet and created slush.. which is hard to walk on going down a slick sidewalk. A group of us wanted to go see a movie but our usual group (Kathleen, Nicole, Liz, and me) separated and went to cafe futbol for chocolate con churros. That was great because it was so cold out! My feet were soaked too so that didn´t help. We left and I got to talk to my mom on skype when Liz and I went to the cafe. :)
So this morning I was supposed to meet up with one of the girls who had managed to find the school yesterday but okay funny story. Senora´s alarm was going off for a good 15-20 minutes this morning which really scared Liz and me - we didn´t know what was wrong with her. So finally she gets up to make us breakfast and go back to bed. She apparently took a sleeping pill at 5 because she could´t sleep. Anyways so I scarf down 2 out of 3 pieces of toast and half my coffee when Jessica let´s me know they´re ready but by the time I got there I called her and they´d already gone ahead and she just told me where to go. Should´ve been easy enough but I ended up getting myself lost and had to call Jessica a bunch of times and backtrack a little. I got there eventually and our teacher was a few minutes late anyways so all was good.
Class really wasn´t bad. It´s 4 hours but we have a 20 minute break and we also have 2 teachers: one before the break and one after. I understood the first one better but still understood them both pretty well. There´s about 10 students in the class and I really didn´t feel nervous talking or anything. I think it´ll be pretty fun - at least as much fun as 4 hours of an intense language class can be. We´ll start grammar stuff tomorrow - today was mostly just getting to know everyone.

I think my friends and I are going to plan a trip for our break before the semester starts and go to London, Paris, aaand Germany? About 3 days in each place. Plane tickets are so cheap here and I don´t know about train but we´re going to look into prices for everything and get that set up. Liz and I want to go to Ireland during St. Patrick´s Day or around that time if we have school. Sometime we all plan on going to Greece together too which would be awesome. They want to go to Rome as well but I´ve already been there. I mean I´ve already been to Paris too but I wouldn´t mind going again.

Right now I´m at the school waiting for Liz and some other girls to get their school ID´s. I think tomorrow I´m going to explore the other school more after class until Liz gets out because it´s awkward and boring to be at the house by myself.

The food has still been really good and always too much but yesterday she made a rice dish with shrimp, mussels, and some mini squid looking thing. We were supposed to de-head and de-tail the shrimp.. SO GROSS. I was shaking from just being grossed out all through dinner and mostly just ate the rice.

Hmm that´s about it. Adios amigos!
