First day of school

Well today was my first day of spanish class. Well I didn't exactly learn anything though. I had to initially take a placement test, which was written and oral, and then wait around for about an hour and a half for the tour of the school. The cool thing about taking classes at the University is you are allowed to use everything the school offers, so the gym, the pool, the internet and computers. They have a few cafes and a cafeteria right next to where my classes are. I met a few nice people, a few from the states, one from England and a few from Germany. Everyone was pretty nice. We were all placed in classes, and there are only 4 or 5 in my class which is so great. The less amount of people, the better, cause it is easier to learn, and its quicker to learn lessons. 

I woke up this morning, and Patrick, who is the sweetest husband ever, woke up with me and made me coffee. It was really nice cause he didn't have practice until 1130, and didn't have to get up. I think he was a bit nervous for me to take the bus by myself, but i made it just fine. I also found that where my bus stop is in the city, there are great clothing and shoe stores, so when I have time to kill, I will definitely be hanging out there!

Pat had a long practice this morning, and he has another practice now. The team added another scrimmage this week, so now he has a scrimmage Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The scrimmage on Saturday is the presentation to the fans. It should be fun, with a good attendance, we will see. 

Well we still don't have a car, internet, and haven't heard anything with a new apartment, so after 2 weeks being here, we are still in the exact same position we were in. The good thing is we have learned that nothing gets done like it does in the US, so we are not upset, just excited for all this stuff to get going. Well let you know when anything does happen...until then
