INTERNET!

So after being at the local McDonald's until 12:30 am the other night to finish homework and talk to family and friends, my roommate and I decided it was time to get internet for our house. After calculating it it will end up costing about $27 dollars per person, per month, which is a little more than I'd like to spend, but after looking around was the best deal for unlimited wi-fi. I think saving myself the 5-10 minute walk there and back and the temptation of eating McDonald's is well worth the price. With all the fries and burgers I'd end up buying I'd probably strike even with the cost of internet..haha.

Monday started our intensive spanish session. We have this class for 2 weeks, after which we start our normal semester. In total I'll have 15 credit hours for the semester, which is a good number considering I am also doing an internship which requires me to work 10-12 hours a week. We had interviews last night for the internships at a local hotel we're each business set up a table and we would have a 5 minute interview. I think that they went well, but trying not to jynx it. Indiana University requires us to have an internship while we're over here so I'm hoping that at least one of them works out or I'll have to go interview on location which would take up a lot of time. If that doesn't work out, the program director said we'd get deported. Funny thing is I think he may have been serious....

Last night was a 21st birthday in someone in the program, she also goes to IU, but I didn't meet her until Sevilla. We went to a local irish pub and had a few drinks. I didn't stay out late though because I have class every morning at 9 am. UGH. Crawling out of bed that early is the most difficult thing in the world. I haven't had a class that early since freshman year! Despite me never liking coffee, during our 10 minute break our class goes down to the school cafeteria(more like a cafe) and gets cafe con leche because we're all falling asleep in class. Aside from that I discovered a new favorite mixed drink called ron miel y coca, which is rum thats made from honey with coke. It kind of tastes like a captain and coke (my favorite in the U.S.), but a little bit sweeter.

Today is the first day that I have a lot of free time, hopefully after lunch and siesta I can go shopping. January and February are Spain's big sale time and almost everything is 30-50% off!
