Por Fin, Tengo Un Movil
So the shower this morning was an experience! After a brief lesson from my senora about how not to break the shower which i found out was very fragile haha and given that I had just woken up and crawled out of my incredibly warm bed, I didnt understand very much of what she was saying haha but it turned out alright, I figured it out for myself. I woke up to a temperature of about 32 degrees which was oficially cold, even for me. Given that the bathroom does not have heat it was interesting! I soon found out that if u touch the shower head it will more or less fall off the wall haha but after fixing my small mistake, the rest of the shower went well haha. We met Kali and Laura, Kali is Esteban's girlfriend who goes to NCSU and Laura is her roommate here in Sevilla. After meeting up with them we headed to the Orange store, which is where the "movil"(cell phone) that Mary Salem gave me is from. This was my third trip to the store haha but third time was the charm lol. Finally I had a phone, which makes life much easier haha (The title of the blog is "Finally, I have a cell phone"). After that we went to EUSA which is the UNC sponsored school in Sevilla and we had a crash course in all things sevillan. We watched a movie on all the different interesting places in sevilla and we met one of out teachers that will help teach our first class in EUSA! His name is Fernando, and he is very nice, he even spoke slowly for us which was much appreciated by all. After this meeting we returned to our house for lunch around 3PM and we had paella which is spanish rice with some mussels and shrimp in it. the mussels were still in the shells which was interesting lol but it was good. We had a tomato salad with cheese and corn but i didnt really like it. As always we had fresh bread. And for desert we had natillas which is a pudding that is similar to egg nog haha it was incredible and very interesting haha After we went to a meeting about our classes and our options for classes. This was rather long and boring; by the end my head was aching because of all the spanish haha but it was helpful. Afterwards, Esteban, Kali y I went to a small chocolate store and bought our senora chocolate because it is her birthday. We also had a small coffee. It was a lot of fun. Our senora is currently out with her novio "boyfriend" and Juankey (her son) said she wouldnt be home til late haha its very interesting that she has a boyfriend haha but Juankey made us dinner which consisted of pizza and a salad but it was good. Anyways, we are headed out for some tapas with Kali, Laura, Christine and Elisa (I traveled over here with christine and Elisa is her roommate). hasta luego!
