mi patata frita :)

bloggggggggg.
ok so i have a few super great things to talk about today :)

so last night a few of us were going to get together and just sit in the plaza and chat and drink a little, but only ann and i ended up showing up, so we went on a date!! awwww. so we went to the plaza and got some helado (ice cream) and sat and chatted for like 2 and a half hours! it was so good. loves her. but even better! sorry ann...was when i was walking home, and this guy was standing next to me waiting to cross the street and he said hola and starting talking to me. He said something i didnt understand, then said he was from France, and i told him im from the United States. I asked him if he spoke english and he said "a leetle a leetle" but that was about it haha. So all of his sentences consisted of crappy spanish with a bunch of french words thrown in, and i know no french whatsoever. But it was so sweet! We chatted for like 10 minutes and he was saying that he is staying with his friend who is from Salamanca but didnt know where he was at the moment and such, and some other things but it was super interesting to just try to understand each other with the mixings of spanish and french lol. But we got to my street and i said adios, then he said what im sure is goodbye in french, then i said "hasta luego!" which means see you later basically, then he said "goodbye!" haha it was so great. He also said his name was something like Oliver, but like pronounced "oh-lee-vay", not sure though lol. And, like everyone else here, I said my name was Haley and he repeated "ahh-lee"? so i just went with it lol.

But today in class even more fun things happened! haha. so ann and i are each up to 8 helpings of fries since we've been here, and have a tally going haha, so like patatas fritas has become a sort of theme of this trip already. so today in class we had to write an anonymous letter to someone else in the class, and we misunderstood the assignment, thinking you had to pick one person and write to them, but we were supposed to just write a general letter than anyone in the class could get. So of course we wrote letters to each other, and they were titled "A mi patata frita" or "To my french fry" hahaha. So mine basically said "i saw you in McDonalds (our french fry place of choice) and it was love at first sight when i saw you eating the large fry, and so quickly!" blah blah blah "we should meet tomorrow at McDonalds and eat fries together because i love them also!!" -Tu patata frita (Your french fry) and we used her cherry chapstick, which we kissed a girl with and liked it, and made kiss marks on them haha. So of course our teacher collected all of the letters and randomly gave them to people to read, and they were read out loud lol. and Ann's said things about Kappa, so it was a bit awk haha. but anyway, we got our letters back so we can keep them foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ann and i are going to a spinning class tonight so im supes excited for that!! yay exercise!

so im not gonna lie, the first couple days i was here i had a constant sick feeling. i think it was mostly shock of being here and having all this super new stuff being thrown at me at once and being suuuuuper overwhelmed, but yesterday the entire day i felt great, and same with today, so im just so glad im getting used to everything and am 100% enjoying myself now

woooo espana 2010 !!!!! loooooove haley
