First Day of Classes!

Good morning Salamanca (and goodnight Seattle). Today is the first day of classes! I was placed at an upper intermediate level, which honestly kind of surprises me since I haven't had lessons since high school. Buuuuut that just means I've been doing a good job studying up until this trip!

Yesterday we visited the most amazing gothic church I've ever seen (well, I've only seen one in D.C. before, and that one wasn't built in 1200). I'll post some pictures soon, but it was amazing! We climbed the stairs to the top and had an amazing view of all of Salamanca. Then we had a wine reception to welcome all of the new students and I met people from all over- Egypt, Taiwan, France, Tennessee, Greece, and more. Everyone is just as nervous and excited. Some speak English so we communicate that way, others I can only talk to in Spanish. It's been so interesting so far to hear all of the languages.

Alright, off to coffee with Stefany and then to class!

catch me later :)
