I´m glad that I´m here learner Spanish and I´m really glad to be in the Colegio Mayor. It´s similar to Westfield but even more regulated because there are 100 girls living there and many younger girls too. I just have to make sure I get enough sleep! And I´ve had trouble doing that because I haven´t been doing much exercise to tire me out. I´m going running tonight with Alicia and Paz at 9:15. That means we have a late dinner = 10 pm! Life here is very late in Spain (did I already mention that?).
A few of us are going to Huesca this weekend and then go skiing in the Pyrenees. There are three other supernumerary students, like myself, living in Goimedi and one of them, Ines, has offered to let us stay in her vacation house there. It´s been really nice weather here in Pamplona this week, very sunny, but I´m pretty sure there will be snow in the Pyrenees this time of year! Even though it gets really sunny here in the afternoons, when I leave from the colegio mayor in the mornings for 9:00 class: there is ice on the grass!
Last Sunday we went for an excursion to a beach in the south of France called Biarritz that was very pretty. It was more touristy than San Sebastian but the beach was more beautiful! The waves were huge and broke very far out so they took a long time to roll in and there were many huge rocks for them to hit along the way. We looked around the town a bit and those who had a European Union ID card looked in the Casino on the beach. Before that, we headed over to Bayonne (Bayonna is Spanish) and saw a huge beautiful gothic cathedral and monastery there.
I received my camera today in the mail (thanks Mom!) so I`ll post some pictures soon! In the international student orientation, they took a picture of us all. Then it was put on the unav website and then it got into the Navarra Diaria (the local paper) so were famous! It´s a good pic and I´ll post it when I get it.
