This week was easy for me as I only had 3 classes. It was a holiday week here. Tuesday was their Constitution Day and Thursday was the Immaculate Conception. Tuesday there was a fair in the street with people dressed up in old time costumes and all that jazz. Thursday was a big day for my host mom. Her son, his wife, and their two kids came over that day for lunch. It reminded my a little like Thanksgiving back home. It was so wonderful to see everyone. We all sat, ate, and talked for hours. I was actually able to participate in the conversations!! It was a very happy day for me. I loved being surrounded by people. The kids were crazy and a lot of fun too! Then on Friday Inma decorated the house for Christmas!! It doesn't feel much different from home now, other than the fact that there will be no snow this winter for me. It is still in the 60's and 70's here, but I have adapted to their thinking and now consider this cold.. Inma even has the heat on!!
I only have one more week of classes. I have a paper due in Old English and my Spanish final on Friday. Then next week I have to present two papers to my Linguistics Professor. Then it's already Christmas!! My other two finals aren't until January 9th and 13th so I will be studying little by little over break.
Dan will be visiting December 28th through January 12th! And we will be going to Barcelona for a few days. Then the 16th through the 25th I will be going to London and Ireland with a friend from America who I have meet here. I have a lot going on in the next Month and a half but I am very excited.
I will probably not update again for a couple weeks (around Christmas). I hope you are all staying warm and cozy, staying safe, and enjoying the holiday season. I love you all and you are in my thoughts!
Happy Holidays!
