This morning I woke up at my hostel in Barcelona ready for the next big step in my journey.
I got a taxi, arrived at the airport, and got to my terminal where I waited in line for about 45 minutes because the flight was late. (Although we were never informed of this...) Then off to Almeria!
Touch down. Less than a mile from the beach. Too bad where I live is not that close, but still close compared to anywhere else I've ever lived. The director's son picked me up at the airport and took me straight to the school to eat some lunch. Its a good thing I wore decent clothes to fly in for exactly that possibility. My lunch consisted of some kind of pasta, bread, calamari, and tomatoes. Yep. That is a school lunch apparently.
After meeting a few people at the school, we went to the flat where I will be staying. It is super cute and I have my own room with a closet for hanging and one with shelves, a desk, and a few small drawers. We also have a nice living room with a TV, a bathroom, and the cutest kitchen you've ever seen. I unpacked for a little while, then talked with my roommate Aisha until our other roommate Alice got back from the school. It is Alice's second year, so she will be a lot of help for Aisha and me.
One of this year's adventures will be the fact that I am living with one girl from Ireland and another from Northern Ireland. And yes... for those of you who weren't aware, those are two separate countries. So as I listen to the two of them converse I will be deciphering the mean of different phrases that they do not think about as being odd for me; as well as understanding their accents in general.
And all of that in addition to deciphering Southern Spain Spanish.
Anyways... we went to the market, took showers (because it is blazing hot here with no AC), ate dinner, and watched some American TV.
Since we have to go to school tomorrow in the morning we have all retreated to our bedrooms to relax and settle down for the night.
Hasta mañana.
