9.9.10

El Castillo!!

I have now been taking classes at the University of Alicante for 1 week...all you Carthage kids can stop complaining about it being the second day of classes and having hw.  I took a quiz which truly equates to a full on exam.  I have been sitting in class 4 hours a day in 2 hour chunks for a long time now and it stinks.  It will continue for the rest of the semester on T + R as well because I have the schedule only this time there will be no hour break.  So yeah those of you with 8am's I don't feel sorry for you.  I get up at 7:30 to ride the bus at 8:10 just so that I can sit there for half an hour before class starts since that's the only bus out to the university from my homstay.
I got to go to el Castillo de Santa Barbara on Tuesday! It was really cool and had many amazing landscapes and views to take in.  I have many pictures up on facebook and for those who may be reading this who don't have facebook, I will be able to show you when I get home.  We were there for a total of 2 hours, this includes the way up and the climb down.
I bought a cell phone to use while I am here but it is still not working over a week later so I will be returning to the store for the 5th time today to hopefully get it to work.  If not one of my host sisters is going to go with me and help get things figured out.
Everywhere I look here there is something beautiful and new to take in.  I am hoping that this continues all semester and that I might be able to continue this out look on life both in France next semester and in life as I adjust back to life in the states in 2011.
Miss you all!!
