I'm happy to say there is a lot of progress in my Alcala house,
I've proposed to have a dinner date with my housemates to get to know each other, some were more eager than others :)
This first week has been one giant panick attack really, it just seemed like everybody's Spanish was better than mine, and Spanish people being Spanish people, they don't adjust their speech and that made for some very odd and akward conversations where I would just say "sí" after every sentence.
But getting into some deeper conversations with my housemates showed me my Spanish was just a little rusty, it's been improving rapidly - and one of them even said she thought my Spanish was a lot better than hers!
I'm also glad I haven't pulled the English card on anyone yet, let's see how long that will last...
My housemate from Venezuela has kindly offered to correct my mistakes if I would teach her some English, more progress!!
School has been less eventful, I had a one-hour class, another one I couldn't find the classroom (turned out it was hosted in another Unesco castle) and another one was cancelled.
Also, some of my shoes arrived - but they miss their siblings...
