Mi Vida Sigue....(My Life Continues)

So since the last blog, I have continued my classes, gotten a bike, and started to feel more at home.

So as far as academics go the classes are not so challenging but for the fact that they are in Spanish. In the engineering classes obviously the language poses more of a problem because of the subject matter. But for the most part its coming along. Speaking of, learning a completely new language is not as easy as one would hope. I would like to think I have made some advances but as always its a very slow process.

I was very fortunate to get a surprisingly high quality bike by making a deal with my landlord. My landlord agreed to split the price of a bike with me, and I use it now and hen I leave he gets a bike to advertise along with his room for rent. In addition he took me to a store of a friend of his where I got a really good deal so I officially have a dependable mode of transport and I love it. I´m able to get just about anywhere (in fact I no longer use the metro system) and its also a constant source of exercise which is great.

Speaking of exercise for now I continue to work with the martial arts (Tae-kwon Do and Judo) 2 days a week each and so far so good. The crew team was supposed to start this week but we have had horrible rains.....

**The weather in the last couple of weeks has been pretty severe, it seems like its always raining and with a bike you can imagine how happy that makes me. But the are of Spain is not used to such high amounts of water already there have been many incidents of flooding, not to mention in many buildings roof leaks can be found**

So I am still waiting on that, however unfortunately I do not think that I will get the same benefit from this team. Th coach himself already told me that this schools team is nowhere near that of Georgia Tech (I was excited to hear that we are indeed internationally known!). But I figure practice is practice.

Unfortunately I do not have a whole lot to tell now...night-life is night-life, school is school and I have yet to do anything really exciting with my life . My next task therefore is to find an adventure worth taking and one that I can share here....Until then PLEASE let me know what is going on with you in your life. (Not everyone has a blog ;) ) and beleive me I am waiting to hear from you...Hasta Luego (Until Later)
