I've recently become addicted to The Office...

Hi!

So last Saturday night we had our first intercambio cafe! We invited all the people from our English groups and our other Spanish friends to come hang out, practice English, and eat American cookies. The team made a ton of cookies (I lucked out on that job because I don't have an oven!) and I think everyone had a pretty good time. I was worried that not very many people would show up but we had a pretty good turnout.

We set it up kind of like 'speed dating' where we had 8 different tables each with a different topic. Every 20 minutes or so we would signal for everyone to move tables and topics. It was pretty fun. I was leading a table and my discussion topic was superheroes. If you were a superhero, what power would you have? Would you be a good guy or a bad guy? Stuff like that. It made for some fun conversation. And P.S. most people opted to fly.

So I've passed the halfway point on my time in Spain. I can't remember if I mentioned that in my last post or not, but there you go. This week is a normal week and then next week is Semana Santa, and I'll be traveling the whole week. The first few days in Sevilla and then Lindsey and I are going to Berlin. I am so excited! But I know that when we get back from all that, the time remaining will go by so quickly. And yay! My mom is coming to visit at the end of April! Then I'll be home before you (and I) know it.

Well, I guess that's about all. Everything has been going really well; I have two new intercambios and they are both really cool. And this week is the last week of dance class. We are only doing it for the month of March because April will be just too crazy. So that's that.

Talk to you later!
