Hope ya like the reference above.
Yesterday I asked for directions all by myself, found the library all by myself, filled out weird Spanish forms all by myself and aquired a library card all by myself. Sounds pretty mundane, right? Wrong. I was so proud of myself. People ask me for directions, like I am a native or something. It´s excellent. And when they hear my last name they just assume I am. I want to meet the family in Madrid asap.
I also had a full throttle politics chat with my family last night over marisco. I learned neither of mis padres like Zapatera, the president of Spain, or Bush, which is also excellent. Mi padre is an avid Obama fan. It is so crazy how much more they know about our politics than we know about theirs. I actually am kind of embarrassed. And I could understand like 65% percent of what he said, instead of the usual 20-30%. Kidding. But seriously, it was progress.
Madrid this weekend with mis amigos. Should prove to be as much of a success as Valencia. I hate money though. It´s starting to stress me out.
I have been at school all day with one contact. It´s been weird.

haha i feel you on the whole one contact thing.
youre lucky you havent been around here becuase the ragweed sucks, allergies are UP, and i havent worn contacts in weeks and i cant breathe out of my nose.
BESIDES that, everythings the usual.
your life sounds dreamy, i am jealous. still dont know if ill be in euro next semester or not yet, but if i AM and you have monays, hit up cannes? great :)
the amstel out of a vending machine is awesome and the nude beach sounds like a situation i would have enjoyed.
i miss your calm and your massages and your laugh, ellen is a sufficient holdover, i guess.
keep living the life. cant wait to tune in again soon!!

Navigating in a foreign country in a second language is wonderful. You should be proud. This will get easier as time goes by to the point where it will be second nature. What you learn in the process is never to take anything for granted.
We love you and miss you. T-minus three months and counting.
Love,
Dad
