October 27

Well I'm really trying to make an effort to write in here more, the problem is I really have nothing to say. Everyday is the same, I wake up, walk to school, endure through 6 or 7 hours of Spanish, walk home, eat, go to seminary, then I study for the rest of the day. My life is pretty much the same, except now everything is in Spanish.
I had a Spanish test today that I didn't even bother studying for. There's no way I'm going to ever understand what's going on in that class! So I made a few answers up then sat there for the rest of the hour.
In economy we learned about the stock market crash of 1929 which was weird. I don't know how to explain it, but it's weird learning about american history in another country, in another language! I've already learned about the american revolution in history, which was weirder!
When my class has English on tuesdays I usually go to another class to learn more spanish. It's sad because I'm better friends with that class than my class! They are a lot nicer! Well there's this girl in that class who has a crush on the nicest boy in my class named Fernando, but they call him Trejo. He spent the year in Michigan last year and three years ago in Germany. So he knows English really well and that means I talk to him a lot! Ha so I told him and he thinks it's pretty freaky that a girl two years younger than us likes him, but I tried to explain that's normal! I guess no matter where I am, I will never be able to keep a secret!

2 Month Mark!

So I've been here for 2 months, 2 very long months! I don't feel like my spanish is getting better at all! I've already had a ton of exams in my classes which means my perfect GPA has dropped a lot! So that's what I've been doing in the past month, studying.
A couple of weeks ago I went with my parents and my grandma and weston to Salamanca and Portugal. I saw a ton of old buildings and beautiful tile (so my mom and grandma say). Weston and I had fun taking pictures in front of the tile and the doors. Overall it was a fun trip.
On Wednesday or Thursday a bunch of actors and actresses and film crew came to my host family's hotel for the week. They are filming a movie called "The Way" with Martin Sheen in it. I had no idea who he was until my sister Whitney told me that his son, who's also in Burgos, was the coach in Mighty Ducks! Now I think it's the coolest thing ever!
In my classes I've gotten a little more comfortable. The other day in P.E. I was even teaching a few girls some of my dance moves! Most spaniards get embarrased when I start dancing so I was surprised when these two girls tried to dance with me! The next free day we have I'm going to bring my ipod and we are going to dance!
Well tomorrow I have an economy test that I haven't studied for at all so I have to get to that! Yikes!

Start of October!

So it's been another crazy week! Saturday I went to Madrid to do baptisms for the dead and it was amazing! I got to see my mormon friends from Bilboa and they are awesome! They make me want to change cities! Sunday I went to church like normal, except I didn't participate like I have in the past weeks. Really, I've already said the closing prayer, and conducted the music! Monday was a pretty bad day, like all Mondays are, nothing new. Tuesday my grandma came and after seminary I got to spend the afternoon with her! I loved hearing about home! Wednesday was awful! I went to technology class thinking it was going to be a good day, and by the time I came out of that dreadful place, my mind was changed. The other problem with Wednesday is that I have seven hours of school instead of the normal six hours, and this Wednesday I didn't make a sandwitch, so I was tired and hungry! Yesterday was great! I became better friends with the girls I eat lunch with, by better friends I mean that I now know all their names! Ha and there's three Marias! Today was better than yesterday, if that's possible! I told a girl yesterday that I would show her pictures of the most attractive kids at Timpanogos, and during break time, every single girl in my grade were drooling over the pictures! They were asking a billion questions about the three boys I showed them, and I thought it was hillarious! Now they all want to come to Utah this summer to meet them! Hahaha I'm glad they have the same taste in guys! Anyway I'm going to a party right now and I'll actually be home early! OH and I'm so excited for general conference!
