Hello world! (How cool that I can say that literally!)

Well, today marks two months here in Spain. Orginally I had planned to give a grande update on here, since I hardly ever write very much, but upon noticing the fact that it's just past 11pm, I have three hours of Castellano tomorrow, and I'm literally falling asleep at the keyboard, I promise to save all of it for another day soon! I just wanted to write and say that all is as well as can be, I suppose, here in the land of bull-running, paella, and flamenco.............a joke was made! I have yet to see a bull in real life, and from what I can tell, only a small percentage of the people here actually approve of bulling running, and the rest all hate it. Paella does in fact exist; it is, in fact, fantastic; and I've only had it two times in the last two months, so I can't really say much about it as I don't know it very well. As for flamenco....my host parents laughed when I asked if there were very many people doing it in the Valencian community, and proceeded to show me my host mom's flamenco dress from when she was about 11 years old....and that's about it for flamenco.

SO. I'm terribly sorry to those who were jumping at the idea of an update on my oh-so-fascinating Spanish tales. It's incredible how little I actually want to sit down and write in English anymore, (whether it be for blogging, or for mail for the family and friends....HEM HEM...DONDE ESTA MI CORREO?!), but I promise it's definitely happening! I write quite a bit actually, but as for typing it all up again, that is just not going to happen.

Vale, feel free to take a mental red-pen and absolutely mark up this journal! As I only speak English here with other exchange students (though I desperately want to begin in Espanol), and my parents (from Florida). Something you all should know is that I'm going to try and not Skype with them until just around Thanksgiving, (AND THE 15TH BIRTHDAY OF MY DEAREST HOLLY SISTER<3), as that will make it roughly a month since we've talked.


Ok. Forreal, I'm going now. I hope (absolutamente) that I'll be able to type everything important, and just a little important sometime this week. I hope everyone is having a spectacualr (but not too much) life!


Nos vemos luego!

Nicole!
