sunday, i went to mass at the cathedral with my mama. we sat in the FRONT row because she wanted to make sure i could see. we went for lunch after and we inhaled what may be the BEST pizza i've ever eaten.
the week is going well so far. we stay busy which is nice. classes are going well but the homework is starting to come :( we have to read a book for my class about galicia (which means that i will be reading the book AND the dictionary). we thought we were starting volunteering (with the little ones in the hospital) this week but we were told today that they don't know when we're starting. i start my internship tomorrow and i'm a little nervous! eeks!
yesterday for lunch, we had paella (pronounced pay-ay-yuh) which is a traditional spanish dish. it has seafood, rice, and veggies in it. so...my mom brings it into the dining room and on top of it are GIANT pieces of chicken, mussels/oysters (idk which) and shrimps with legs, whiskers, and eyeballs!! AHHHHHH! needless to say, i did not eat much for lunch and i was quick to say that i did not want it for dinner :)
the weather is getting better here, which is making it much easier to be here. tonight, we have a tour through my school of the places to go for tapas, wine, etc. this weekend we are taking the train to vigo (a city nearby) to explore, do some shopping (theres an H&M!), and just get away for the day. my mom and the girls in my house are going to paris - but fear not, tia lola will be here with me. thats all for now. miss you all! xoxo
