Today is my first day in Spain! I'm so excited to start my Spanish studies and, more so, my Spainsh life. My trip here was very long and I didn't get very much sleep. but after the airport my group took a bus to our university, La Fundacion de Jose Ortega y Gasset. What a mouthful!
There I met my new mother Teresa. She is very nice and generous. She says she is going to even clean my clothes, which I think is ridiculous!
The city is very different from Dallas. It reminds me of Paris with many busy and circular streets. [no se la palabra para 'round-about']. I have not seen much of the city yet because I slept this afternoon, but it looks like a lot of fun!
The place where I live is a very 'chulo' flat (Teresa said that chulo/chula is a Mexican word; I need a new expression). All the rooms are separated by doors, which I thought was interesting, and everything is wood. My favorite part is outside the windows. There are no dryers in this building, so after washing clothes you hang them on ropes in bewteen windows. How weird! It's like the old days (that I never experienced). It's also funny because the whole neighborhood will be able to see my under garments.
My roommate is not here yet. She is with her parnets in a hotel. I was really disappointed because I wanted that we have a beer and explore our vacinity. I also think it's very rude to Teresa. My roommate is moving in next Monday.
Tomorrow, we are going to Toledo for orientation. We will stay there for 2 days and then return to Madrid to finish up orientation. Classes start on next Moday. I have to be up early tomorrow so goodnight!

haha you sound so official and hilarious in this blog, but it's cool that you're translating like that. if i was there i would "want that we have a beer and explore our vacinity" with you. that sounds great.
