Work and Food

So I just got back from my first day at work at the bookstore across the street. I´m not entirely sure if it´s going to be the greatest experience, just because I dont think there´s that much I will be able to do there. I would love to just read through all the books, but that´s not what I´m there for. I will just keep learning as I go. the two people that work there were nice at least. The lady bought me a coke, which tastes a little different than in the states. Unfortunately, the diet coke here is REALLY different, and I don´t like it. So today I tried a regular coke. I guess it´s a good thing so that I won´t drink as many cokes while I´m here.

On Friday we´re going on a day trip to Cordoba. Then on Saturday morning we´re going to a few places around Seville. Next weekend, I made plans with a few girls to go on our first trip by ourselves to Barcelona. We fly out of Seville Friday evening, spend two nights in a hostel, and return Sunday evening. I hope to see the Cathedral and a few other buildings, but we have no specific plans to see stuff. I´m excited though.

Last night we had our first "intercambio" which is a spanish tutor. It´s manditory for everyone, and it´s not like a regular tutor. Last night me and my roommate went with a girl who´s actually from Peru studying here in Seville, and we walked around the downtown area and stopped for a Pepsi. It was a lot of fun, and easy to understand her. I think I´m going to enjoy this weekly meeting with a tutor.

Yesterday for lunch we had pista, which is a mix of vegetables in red sauce. It had green and red peppers, onions, squash, and eggplant. Yes, I ate eggplant and liked it. :) And it had fried potatoes with it, so it was a great meal. I eat a lot of bread here. There´s at least one loaf of good white bread at every meal, and I eat a lot of it. And I went to the grocery store and bought a bar of dark chocolate for .79 €. It´s delicious. I am going to be eating so much good food while I´m here. Good thing I walk to much and get to start my Sevillanas dance class next week.

So I guess that´s it for now. I will check email again before we leave for Cordoba, but I don´t know when I will really have another chance to be on until next week. So I´ll keep you updated!!!
