Don't forget your toothbrush

Amy, Me, Andrea, and Chelsea in TOLEDO!

No seriously, don´t forget it. I did. And I went to la farmacia this morning to buy one....and now have €3 less in my wallet. It's crazy because that's like over $4 in US currency, but oh well, now I will have clean teeth!

Things have been continuing to be amazing here. Yesterday we took our placements exams, and apparently I did fairly well. We also got our classes and I'm extremely happy with my schedule, which is a little different from what I had originally picked. I have Advanced Grammar, Advanced Conversation, Spanish Phoenetics (for the cothina accent), and a Maximizing Study Abroad course that the University of Minnesota is FORCING us to take (just to warn you, I am still very bitter toward the University of Minnesota, but the program itself makes up for it). I also received my internship assignment yesterday. I will be working at the local biblioteca (library)...which isn't just any library...it's this:
I will be working in what is called the Alcanzár, one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in Toeldo. Al Alcanzár used to be a Roman palace in the city of Toledo and was renovated in the 1500's. Later it became a military academy, and then was used as a stronghold in the city during the Spanish Civil War.

Anyway, that´s all from now, I'm going to do a bit of shopping before lunch!
