Mola

Jose y yo

This is my friend Jose. Upon reading my blog, he got upset that everyone else was on it except him. I just met him last weekend when we all went out, but he is a good friend. He told me to call my next blog "mola" which is a word for cool.

I still cannot get those pictures from Madrid up... I have to figure out what is going on with my computer.

School is getting easier and harder... haha. Easier because I am understanding a lot more of what is going on and I am more comfortable because I know more people. But it is harder because I have to study a lot to understand everything and they tell me that the tests are harder here. Instead of a bunch of multiple choice questions (where you can sometimes make an educated guess) there are just a few questions that you have to write descriptive answers to. Oh boy! So far I have been trying to reread everything, and of course doing all my homework. My favorite class is still English... we had to write a 100 word paper about ourselves the other day. Today in Economy we watched the graduation speech Steve Jobs gave at Stanford in 2005 and it was of course in English, which was nice! hah. But aside from skyping home, I don't listen to or speak much English, which is really neat. I think going to school has definitely helped me a lot.

The teachers are getting better about saying my name... some call me Rah-chel, and others just don't try and revert to Raquel. I have an hour free a couple days that I hang out on the patio with some others who have free time and they taught me some card games... even the cards here are different. hah

Anyway, I am studying hard, speaking Spanish, having fun... (:
