My first days in la Espana

Hola! I know I have started a bit late on this...but here it goes. This will be my first blog ever and may not be very interesting to some, but I hope it can help my loved ones to know how I am doing and so forth. I started journaling in my notebook...last night...I know I couldn´t remember everything so I think I should start doing that ALL the time. Here is what I wrote: I´m in Spain...finally! The plane ride took forever! The flight from Detroit to Amsterdam was about 8 hours. Thankfully, we had movies on board. We had our own tv´s so we could pick and choose what we wanted to watch or do. I watched 17 again (with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry), it was alright, and I played a game....Jewel something or another. I only slept for about an hour because we were a row before the bathrooms, so people were hitting me, leaning on my chair, and more. It was not fun! We arrived in Barcelona on Sunday morning and I was very tired. Our drive to our hoststay took forever as well. The driver could not find the house and asked about 8 people if they knew where it was...about an hour later we were finally there! My roommate (Kaila) and I live with two sisters Tati (real name Maria) and Carmen. They are nice and Carmen cooks everything. We have a great veiw from our room, we can see the whole city because we are so high and have a balcany. (If I could upload pictures I would!) Also, we have a pool! Our suitcases were huge (thanks Mom) and we had to climb a ton of stairs. I should have firm butt and legs by the time I get back...haha. There are also two other students living in the house, one from Japon her name is Mocca, and one from Nicuaragua (spelling?) and her name is Ama. They are super nice and very helpful. Our first predinner (about 3 pm) consisted of plamenta and another salad...wasn´t a fan of those. After we ate, they let us sleep for siesta. When we woke, we walked through Parc Guell, which is a huge park full of buildings by architect Guadi, he is very famous here in Barcelona. You can wikipedia him, if you´d like! The park is practically their backyard, it´s pretty neat! After our walk, we were served dinner (around 9:45) and we had Spanish tortillas (potato and egg mixture) they were great! Along with some meat (like salami) and bread with tomato sauce on top. I really enjoyed that dinner, much better than predinner...haha. After dinner we went to bed, around 10:30ish. I have a hard time falling asleep but I manage. I really miss home, my family, and Jordon! It´s not the same here, but I´ll get through it! I would really like to talk to someone, but we´re not able to use their telephone and they have no internet in the house. I go to the school to use internet. I will have to buy a converter so I can upload pictures while I´m at school (on my free time of course). Today, I plan on buying a phone with some minutes so I can call. I´ll post another blog about my second day and today. Today is my actual first day of class! Should be interesante!
