Wednesday, September 1st

Today we had a new professor for the first half of class. Her name was Susana. She was sweet, but the male (Ruben) still is my favorite! We started working on the past tenses (preterit and imperfect).

After class, I went home and ate with my abuela. After I took a wonderfully, long nap. :)

Eric, me, and Katy out to eat 

The highlight of the day was going out to eat with our new friends! We went to this restaurant called something like 100 Metiditos. They have a deal on Wednesday nights that if you get a drink and a sandwich then they are each 1 euro. I got a "hamburger". It was delicious, but it was NOTHING like the hamburgers from the states. It was on a little bun and had I think a sausage patty with feta cheese, shredded bacon. I liked it a lot, but it wasn't near enough! Especially with our huge "jarros" (jars) of tinto de verano (summer wine).

After dinner, we went to another little bar called Con todo su corazon (With all of your heart). We ordered some tapas and a couple of pitchers of sangria. Yum yum yum! :) It was fun because me and Eric (in the picture above), where the only ones who spoke English, and everyone else spoke German as their first language, so we had to speak in Spanish to communicate with each other! It's getting a lot easier to get my point across! :)

Around 1 am, we finally decided to call it a night (because we all have class together in the morning). Sina and I take the same metro home (until I have to transfer) so it was nice to have someone to wait with. We talked about boyfriends and ex-boyfriends all the way home and when we we went to get off the metro, the ladies next to us who had been listening to our conversations laughed and said that our Spanish was very good. Guess that means I should drink more wine! ;)
