El Presidente Nuevo!

Well its been an interesting few days here! Saturday we went to Italica which is an old Roman city outside of Sevilla. It was pretty interesting to see all the history of Sevilla and to realize how old the city is. You realize how old it is when you understand that it is old enough and significant enough to have been translated into different languages. Which is why it is spelled Seville on American maps and Sevilla on Spanish maps. Just and interesting tidbit. Italica was a lot of fun and it was an amazing place to take pictures. The light in the tunnels was amazing and I could've stayed there for a long time jus taking pictures. We learned a lot about the history of Italica and the history of the Romans in Spain. After we got back from Italica we just hung around the house all afternoon. We went out around midnight. Kali, Christine, Elisa, Esteban, Laura and I headed out for the centro to meet some other friends. We went to La Plaza de Alfalfa which has sort of become our hang out spot haha! We chilled there for a while and then we met two guys that were just hangin around playin some guitar. It was pretty sweet, we jus listened for a while and watched them play lol then a couple of the girls from our group attempted to play which was hilarious, and this was followed by some equally hilarious singing to the "songs" the girls were attempting to play lol After hangin around the plaza for a while we went to bar robotica with our french friends and hung out there for a while. We met Jesus in the bar haha lol and his girlfriend Maria, who i must say was incredibly fine!!!! We hung out there for a while and then set out for Elefunk, which is usual lol. But when we got there they had the gate infront of the door half shut so we thought they were closin down, so Elsia Christine Laura and I headed home. Apparently they were not closing down cuz esteban, Kali, forest and the rest of the crew got there a little later than us and didnt leave til after 630am haha anyways on the way home we scored some chocolate covered churros (more or less fried dough) lol and it was amazing. We walked Christine and Elisa home and then Laura and I headed for Los Remedios. I dropped her off at her house and walked back to the house. I got in around 530am it was an early night haha. Sunday was a lot of fun, Kali came over for lunch and our senora made the boys set the table all nice with the nice table cloth and we put out the nice wine glasses and she made homemade sangria haha it was a pretty amazing meal. After that I took a long nap haha. We just hung out for the rest of the day, Esteban played some futbol with some of our french friends but that was about the extent of it. Monday, it was back to the grind. It was cold and rainy and yucky! The weekend had been beautiful and warm and we started the week off with rain and cold!! Boo!! But I got a good 3 mile run in which was nice. We had class at 530 and we decided that on tuesday we would cancel language class and have culture class early in order to watch the inauguration. The rest of Monday was pretty uneventful. Tuesday was rather uneventful in the morning. We just chilled around the house all morning. We had class at 4 and then attempted to watch the inauguration. The internet was a bit splotchy so we saw parts of the inauguration speech and ceremony. I liked what I heard from Obama for the most part so we will see if he sticks to his word and we will see what he can really do about the state of the country.(I listened to the speech in its entirety today). Anyways so today was hilarious. I got up late cuz we went out last nite haha and i just hung around all mornin and did a little homework and edited some pictures and stuff. Then later on in the afternoon I was listenin to music in my noise cancelling headphones and therefore I am completely dead to the world. Well I had no idea that it was lunch time and apparently my senora and her son had been yelling for me for like 15 minutes, she had like beat on the door and yelled and all sorts of stuff and I had no idea until Juanqui came in and kicked my bed lol. I felt like such and idiot but it was hilarious!! Anyways that was probably the most exciting point in the day haha. Thanks mom and dad for the care package!!! I love me some puppy chow and Im sure that everyone that has to look at me is glad that I got my razor haha!! Miss all yall!!!
