Here is something I wrote on my computer earlier but I just now got to the cafe:

Although it is still an inconvenience, I don’t feel as upset about not having internet in the house now as I did yesterday. It will force me to either see more of Granada, have a workout schedule, read books, and concentrate on homework/studying once that gets going. Sure I still want it for communication but I will be perfectly fine if I only check my e-mail once a day or so and keep in contact that way. We’ll have internet access at the school and are going to find the free internet cafes. I’ll get my phone tonight although I won’t use it much. The food has been really good but still way too much. I think our food today had tuna in it though which I didn’t find out until afterwards when Liz told me. She probably doesn’t realize that fish are included in the vegetarian thing. Other than that, we’ve had soup, Spanish tortillas, bread, spaghetti, fruit, and vanilla pudding. Her daughters joined us for lunch and are really nice but I feel bad because they remember our names but I have no clue what theirs are.
This morning we had our placement test. It went alright. My brain hurt afterwards. Haha. I didn’t get to the last question on the writing part and I was having trouble with a few of the multiple choice ones. The oral part would have gone better if it weren’t so noisy in the room and I could hear her better. But I still think I did okay and got placed as intermediate, which is good. I definitely didn’t want to be in the advanced classes. So they’ll email us tonight about when our classes are for the language intensive class. Then in about a week or so, we’ll get our regular classes set up. I’m just glad the test is done and we can spend the weekend exploring the city. However.. it’s snowing right now. I thought we left that behind in Illinois! But yeah it’s pretty cold outside.
Alright well after my large lunch, I think it’s time for a siesta! ☺
