TODAY ROCKED!

Well we arrived in Granada last night and hung out with our host family. It´s this 51 year old lady named Yolanda and neither of her kids are at her house but there are two american girls there. (I don´t remember their names) They´re in college so they´re alway condensending but overall their fun. It´s 5 o´clock now and we have to be at the school for our tour of Granada at 6. It takes about 40 minutes to get there by foot. It´s pretty hot here.
We had our first classes today and those were pretty cool. We spent the first half of the day taking placement tests to see which of the two groups we would be in. So far I like all of the kids here (except one, I gave him plenty of chances but he just continues to suck. Whatever. He only annoys me when he talks) Anyhow, I know WAY more spanish than I thought. Today in the class it was only me and two other kids (who are flapping hilarious) that understood everything. We spent a lot of time making a lot of jokes and so far it was the best day of the trip. Also the 2 hour period the three of us spent joking and screwing around was one of the funniest times I´ve ever had. EVER. I´ve already learned a lot of spanish as well. It´s really cool that we learn some stuff in the school and when that is finished we put what we learned immediately into use. There are plenty of internet cafes so I´ll be sure to continue posting. Actually we like a specific interent cafe that is a little more expensive but it´s totally worth it. The place we´re at now is cheaper but the computers are slower so you have to spend WAY more time waiting for things to load and then it feels like a waste of money. Speaking of money.....the exchange rate sucks. I had to exchange (cambiar) money today and I got like $0.68 to €1. It blew but I need money.
I needed to leave 2 minutes ago but I lost track of time. I´ll post more later. Adios.
