oops

I have gotten to the point lately where I want to throw away all my clothes that I brought here. Wouldn't it be so fun to start totally fresh with all new Euroclothes? I was thinking that it would be totally hilarious if I completely assimilated myself into the culture here— kind of like that girl in The Things They Carried who went totally native in Vietnam. Weird thoughts I know. I am kind of starting to love Spanish style though for some reason, and the guys' mullets are growing on me... kidding, I have not come that far yet. 

My friend and I worked really hard on preparing this philo presentation yesterday only to realize that we were supposed to do a different one. So typical. I think that when I go back to ND I am going to be in for the biggest shock of my life... actual long essays and reading hundos of paginas in English. Sublime. 

This weekend we are going to Segovia during the day Friday and then on Saturday Madrid (only for a night) but then Sunday we are staying in the city and going to a futból game. Real Madrid would have been awesome but quite frankly I am scared to death to go to one of those games. The fans can be crazy, to say the least. We are going to a Club Atletico game instead. Cannot wait! It's my host sister Ana's favorite team. The other day they called me into Ana's room to show me Google Earth, and we Googled Summerlake. Made me a little homesick.

Just thought that I would leave this on your blog as opposed to wall, because you'll see that I have been reading it. I love to hear about your adventures, and I am pretty jealous that you're heading to one of those soccer games--I guess futbol is the right term here. We should've hit up Barce! Anyways I just wanted to inform you that after this weekend we have a very special addition to the Marion house in the form of a wall decoration that will remind you of Lewis. That's all I'll say. Be excited!
love,
