Primer día de clase!

Hola! Today began with a little snuggling! Messi, my host family's gato (who's named after a famous Spanish fútbol player), came into my room and demanded to be pet as she meowed louder than any gato has meowed before. We've already formed a solid relationship as you can see!

Mi gato nuevo, Messi!

After some snuggle time and breakfast, I walked to the bus stop and hoped for the best! A bus soon came and I arrived near the Fund in less than 5 minutes! I'm slowly but surely figuring out this bus system!

Today was my first day of classes! I have each class twice a day--today I had Spanish art and architecture from 11:30am-12:45pm and then again from 4:55pm-6:15pm. I understood my professor for the most part; however, she speaks extremely fast! It was definitely hard to keep up! The class itself was interesting and I hope it only gets better! As part of the class we take 3 field trips to look at the art and architecture around the Toledo area! AND there's no homework! Just an essay, final exam, and participation! How great is this?!

In between classes I had lunch at the Fund (they had delicious soup today!) and explored Toledo with some friends instead of taking a siesta. We definitely had fun walking through the streets; however, I'm really regretting not taking any time to rest right about now!

Proud moment of the day...I walked back to my host family's house without getting lost! And Messi immediately came in my room to greet me!

I'm heading to my first Spanish restaurant with mis amigos pretty soon! I'll do my best to update y'all tomorrow! Adiós for now!
