I am already running out of titles

¿Qué tal?

I didn´t plan on writing again so soon, so there is not too much to report. But I will anyway.

First, the keyboard that im using right now isnt exactly cooperating. Thats why there are no apostrophes (that is the first time ive ever spelled that word. But I looked it up. Im right. Yay!)

Also, as you can see by everything I just wrote, Im a little bored. Its been raining for two days in Salamanca so pretty much everything is shut down. Boo. And since my house mom wont let me watch her daughters dvds... i really dont have much to do. But thats okay with me. I have a large book and plenty of time to relax.

Well, the funniest thing that has happened since I last posted actually happened in the middle of the afternoon. Please keep in mind that this was probably around 6 and there were children around. So heres what happened: This week has been the international arts festival for Salamanca, so there are tons of exibits and things to see around town all the time. So my friend Christine and I were walking around the Plaza Mayor (which is the main area of the town) and there were these glass boxes everywhere. Some of them had people in them doing strange things (such as eating marshmellows... really? that´s entertainment?) and disturbing things (like a woman faking a suicide that was graphic). But the best one was for last. There was a completely naked man in one of glass boxes with only a cereal box to conceal himself. The crazy thing is that there were tons of people standing around taking pictures! I was ready to pluck my eyes out, but everyone else found it entertaining. Which brings me to my next point...

Spaniards are just plain weird. The TV, the concerts, the people. Just weird. Maybe Im not cultured enough. But I doubt it.

Not that much has happened really... I met a few people from school that I like, and my classes are still pretty easy. Apparently in most of Spains schools, they have finals but then still have to go to class... So not next week, but the next, I have finals all week but still have to attend every class. It´s strange, but thats alright I suppose.

Also, I have a new Spanish crush: David Bisbal.

ALSO ALSO, I found out something really exciting and useful for me. In Spain, NOM NOM NOM is translated to ÑAM ÑAM ÑAM. hahahaha! Education is really important, people. Imagine if I had not studied abroad... I would never know of ñam ñam ñam...

Thanks for all the comments everyone! I love hearing from all of you. I cant wait to see you all when I get back to the states! Love love love!
