17 Feb 2010--I've Got This...

I feel so much better about things! Today was a turning point for me! I understand at least 80% of my professors' instructions! This is good for me! Also, I have made some good friends, and I finally feel connected with people. YEAH!! I've so got this...

A couple of interesting things...there are eight people in my class. They are from Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Russia, and Brazil! I am learning so much about these other countries! Love it!! Also, the US needs to celebrate Carnaval! That is all I am saying about that...

Let's see...I toured Barcelona on foot for three hours yesterday! I was in pursuit of a gym in which to join. What do you know...I am pretty good with directions and even better with gut instincts! I set out for two gyms and found three!!! The city is beautiful and feels much like Chicago. Buildings are tall and very European (with shutters and plants etc.).

Last night I visited the town of Sitges; it is a beautiful beach town with gorgeous buildings, narrow streets, and a lovely coast.

Everything is going well...I am about to take a nap...then study...then get some friends together for dinner!
