Primera Dia de Clases

   Well today was the big day; if you can say that since the past week has been full of big days. Any way today was my first day of class and let me just say learning french in spanish is quite confusing. Let me explain my understanding of how my school works. Each grade is split up into 4 groups, each group is then split up into 2 groups Matematicas/Economia and Latin/Greco. Both groups share classes together but for certain class specific to their subject  M/E or L/G they go their sperate ways.  As of now Im in Matematicas/Economia, Tomorrow morning though Im going to see if I can try out Latin/Greco (greco is something like greek studies) for a day then decide which one I like more. 

    My biggest problem with all of this is lack of communication between the school, the teachers and interhispania ( the organization through which Im in spain) . For the most part I was just thrown into this school and left to my own devices to figure this stuff out which is freeing in a way but is quite annoying when YOU DONT SPEAK THE LANGUAGE!! 

   With that out of the way my experiance was actually quite positive I liked most of the teachers and the students were very outgoing and fun to hang out with. At the end of the day I find myself quite excited for school tomorrow. My M/E class numbered about 22 people and the L/G class being much smaller at 10 so when it was all combined around 30 people. Needless to say the classroom was quite loud sometimes ( Philosophy) that class was more like a madmans experiment: put 30 crazy teenagers in a class room with a teacher who cant maintain any control. Well let me sum that experiment up for you BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

 After School I took a nice little nap, school is quite draining when taught in another language. Around 7 Esperanza gave me a quick tour of the bus system, this took us to the center of the city which I talked about a bit in my last post. We paid a visit to a restuarant that only served churros where we had guess what churros, We diped our churros in what has to be some of the best hot chocolate Ive ever had. Pretty sure Im gona have to run a marathon to burn that off. I then decided to try and get some more euros using my atm card which ended in me having to call my parents so they could get my card back online because I failed so many times. I think that is all figured out so tomorrow I will try again. So that brings to where I am now sitting infront my laptop summing up my day for you awesome folks who are cool enough to read this blog. 

   Side note- Im starting to experiment with this blog in making it more fun for you guys. As you may have noticed to that goal I have put a little poll in the top right which I will hopefully change every few days. I will try and keep the poll relevent to my adventures, maybe even asking what you think I should do. Also I decided to add El Palabra de la Dia ( the word of the day) the idea being each day I will have a different word in spanish and english so we can all improve our language skills. 

El Palabra de la Dia es- Decide = Decidir. 

I kept on wanting to say this word alot in school so here it is for all you guys so you wont get stuck in the same situation as me.
