I have a little under two weeks left before I leave- yikes! I've been using Rosetta Stone to practice and it's been helping a lot, even just with making me feel comfortable with my language abilities. Also, the vocab is really useful. I have been learning a lot of good words like kitchen appliances, cutlery, every-day verbs, and the like. There was a whole lesson just to teach me the word for bandage (tirita) which I thought was kind of funny. And my new favorite word- frigorífico. It sounds like an adjective like "magnifico" or something but it just means refrigerator. It makes keeping perishables from going bad much more exiting. I'll put that left-over chorizo in the frigorífico! ¡Excelente! Lavavajiillas is another fun one.
I got a guidebook for the whole country of Spain for Christmas from my aunt and uncle- I'm going to go through that later. In addition to the trips we are taking with Skidmore around Spain I am really hoping to explore the country more. When I was in London I only went to Barcelona and Scotland, and stayed the rest of the time in the city. Hopefully I'll get to do more travelling this time around! For our break (Holy Week) we have ten days off to go exploring- a really good opportunity to go somewhere a bit farther perhaps.
In other news, I got my mom a Spanish cookbook for Christmas, and I have read it through. I am really excited to eat. A lot. This blog may quickly become a food blog once I get there.

ahhhh madrid is soo SASSY. i flipped through the paris lonely planet book today and it just went on and on about romantic and seductive paris and cigarettes and cheese, how typical. as my mother decided that the rosetta stone would stress me out i'm going to read a french book that i've had for a while and only read half of until now- perhaps i'll start that tonight, its a love story sort of and obvi. see you for din tomorrow night,
