It's official. British Airways stinks...

So, I still don't have luggage. No bueno. The only silver lining is that because it has been missing for 7 days, I get to buy things here in Seville and BA will have to pay me back as long as I keep the receipts and spend under 800 Euros. So I think I'm going shopping tomorrow, haha. I did REALLY want a Spain futbol jersey... hmmm...

Classes started Monday, and they are great so far. My schedule is like so:
M - F --> Spanish from 9 to noon
T and Th only --> Travel Writing from 12:30 to 14:00 (2pm, although they use military time)

In Spanish, we get to go out into the city almost everyday during class and get to use what we just learned in the classroom. It is wonderful! My teacher is fantastic, and my class is the perfect size (18 or so).

My Travel Writing class is pretty cool as well. I will be writing A LOT, so that's some work, but I know in the end I will be glad, because we are basically journaling our time here everyday in Sevilla and the other various places we travel to. So even though the writing may seem tedious now, when I want to reminisce about this trip I will have a journal right there I can refer to!

So, as a reference to you- this is what my day in total looks like here in Spain...
-Breakfast at 8:00, usually toast with chocolate/peanut-butter spread.
-Catch the bus at 8:30, start class in the Center at 9:00
-Break from 12 to 12:30, lots of us students go to the cafe around the corner to get a cafe con leche (coffee w/ milk) or a bocadillo (mini sandwich)
-on T and TR, class at 12:30
-lunch at mi casa at 14:30 or so
-NAP TIME, aka 'siesta'
-go explore the town, do homework, or go hang out at the TTU Center around 18:00
-bible study at the Center on Mondays at 19:00, dance class (Flamenco y Sevillanos y Rhumba) at Center on Wed at 19:30
-dinner at 21:00
-go to bed around 0:30 or so

Sound like a full day? It is. That's why this city has to have its siesta from 2 - 5. I think America should adopt this idea, haha. Until next time, adios amigos!

Peace, love and God bless,
