A first day unlike any other.





So yesterday was our first day of school.  Our host padre walked us the 6 or 7 minutes to Universidad de Málaga Para Extranjeros where we took a Spanish placement exam and got settled in.  The school is really little and is just for International students.  This semester its mainly American and Chinese kids, but there are also students from Germany, Denmark, and a few other places.  It's crazy because back home students almost always prefer to speak english in their spanish classes, but here we have to speak spanish, because we have no other common language!

I'm taking an intensive Spanish course- high intermediate level, a Spanish culture course (in which we're only allowed to speak spanish,) History of the European Union, and International Marketing.  AND, on Fridays I only have Spanish from 8:30-10:20.  Weekend adventures?  I think so.  

Lastly, this beach takes less than 2 minutes to walk to, and despite the pictures, it has a great sandy beach!
