"But how will you learn math?!"

My name's Leigh Brownell, and I'm a Rotary exchange student in Spain for the 2010-2011 year!

Quicky (10/17/10)

I feel bad cause I haven’t written anything in a long time. 

Last week I went to Barcelona, Cadaques, Figueres, Girona, and Montserrat. It was amazing :] We went to see Dali’s house and his museum, Park Guell, and a ton more. 

We only had school for three days this week, but I only went to two because I was sick on Wednesday.

This weekend there was another Rotary meeting. We’re planning our float for the Three King’s Day parade in January. Everybody is representing a different country: I picked Germany. Beer maiden, Clearly haha I love those dresses. 

After I went out to dinner with my mom, aunt, and two of my mom’s friends from high school. This restaurant Gino’s is really popular here. I’ve eaten there at least 3 times since I’ve been in Spain. 

After we went out for drinks and to look around that area of the city. We were on this street full of clubs, and on the road was written passages from famous novels or poems. Invasion of intelligence where there is none lol.

Saturday I went shopping with some of my friends at this huge mall in the next town. I finally bought the pants that I’ve been wanting for like, a year. They look like MC Hammer pants, but cool obviously. They’re jeans, and are really popular here. 

After we got back I walked to my Grandparent’s house to meet up with my parents, and meet my uncle. Very good day for Spanish, but now I think that he thinks I’m fluent, since for the whole conversation I only lacked two or three words.

Today we had paella with my grandparents and aunt and uncle. Later, when my aunt and uncle left, and after that my grandparents, Toni Paz Alberto and I went to visit my Bisabuela (great grandma) and las tias de Toni. My great grandma is 99 years old. Awesome haha. She was so sweet, and my great aunts are too. The one dances Flamenco and the other used to but says that she “forgets. It’s so difficult and so much to remember”. It all still looks that same to me haha but either way it looks really good so no hating from this end.

I like how my quick posts aren’t really quick at all. I’m doing so much that it’s kind of impossible haha. Okay. It’s 12:26 so I’m gonna go to bed.

Buenas noches, yall
