Hola los todos,
I have been in Spain for 3 days already. It seems like I just left yesterday. Denia, the city I am living is beautiful. I wake up to sunshine and an excellent view of the mountains surrounding Denia. I live on the same roundabout as the University and nearly get hit by a car every time (Spaniards are crazy drivers) I go to and from the school. I am beginning to get my bearings around the city. I am able to find the stores I need to find and make it home usually without any problems. Denia is not very big, but very dense. A walk from my piso (a flat, kind of like an apartment) to the mediterrean is only 10 minutes, but you pass by 100's of little stores all with apartments above them. Yesterday, we all took a tour of the city hitting the hot spots such as the castle, the catholic church on the water, a coffee shop with ruins from the moors, the port, and many others. At night, a couple of us managed to find our a way to an irish pub that played american music like the beatles, 50 cent, and the Doors. However, our waitress must of been speaking a different dialect of spanish then we were because we litterally had to show her what we wanted. Today, I got to meet my spanish brother, his name is Javi. He is a teacher and really enjoys music. At lunch we spoke about bands like radiohead and Rufus Rainright(I did not spell right). It was much easier to speak to him than my mom, so I hope he is around more often. Oh yeah, and se me rompio una taza esta manana (I broke a glass this morning). Its not easy explaining that and apologizing in spanish. Way to go Tommy.
As for the classes, they are pretty tiring. I spend all my energy trying to understand what the professor is saying in Spanish so it is hard to take notes and think deeper about the material. However, this should improve as my spanish improves (I have my fingers crossed).
I also purchased an international phone too. It was pretty cheap and will allow me to place calls to the united states for 15 cents a minute, and if i receive a call its free for me too. If you want more information about that just let me know
Thats for all now.I will put pictures up as soon as I take them ha. If you have any questions, shoot em on over.
Hasta Luego
Tommy

Mierda, mi novio estúpido comentó primero. Deseé ser primer, así que usted pensaría que era realmente pensativo y el amar (soy... pero en este caso deseé amarle más que Juan), a que no pienso es posible porque él realmente tiene gusto de usted. Significo que él tiene gusto de usted de una manera totalmente platonic (no attempt at spanish on that one), pero nunca cuanto menos, deseé ganar en algo, (pero es difícil a hacer porque él es un tirón). Pero usted no es un tirón, te quiero y espero que usted tenga un viaje magnificant. No puedo esperar para ver fotos. Mi español es terrible pero gané porque Juan no sabe lo que dice este comentario!
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
and what the hell is up with my gmail saying that my name is Jon...that was me, alexa!
Sorry for my lack of promptness in replying to these. I forgot that other people can leave posts and what not. Sweet. Anyways I am going to post again this weekend after I go to valencia (the 3rd largest city in spain). But I hope you are all doing well, and Alexa, Your spanish is really good no preocupes. Hasta
