WHAT A RIP OFF!

Like I said before, I really thought I knew Spanish.

I know I’ve said it before, but honestly, Senora gave me such confidence and being here has KILLED me completely.

I can’t carry on a conversation, let alone understand what anyone is saying when they talk to me…. Like today, in class when my speaking professor didn’t call on me because she probably saw how nervous I was!

When I went back to the bank with my passport, the women spoke to me SO QUICKLY. I grasped a few words which basically told me that she had made a mistake and that she cannot transfer over money.

Welll…. Woop-dee-doo.

I’m STILL broke.

So, Aliza and I went on a wild goose chase all around town to finally find ONE place that would actually exchange!

$200.00 is 114euro. WHAT A RIP OFF!

The only problem is that the money looks like monopoly money, so when I spend it, I don’t feel so bad!

No, I’m kidding – I really haven’t bought anything… I just bought some fruits, drinks, and a subwayway (shout out to Avi) card!

I also got more homework.

I can’t believe it.

It’s really such a pain, but don’t worry mom, I did it!!

At night, we were supposed to go to Flamenco dancing – yes Flamenco, not FlamINGO! But, Jenna wasn’t feeling well so we just decided to walk around town… we’ll save it for a better time! (aka – next week because the 3 weeks starts on the 19^th)

Normally, we go left (that’s where the ‘broadway’ part of town is) so we decided to go right and found this beautiful fountain, a little ‘shuk’ that was called TARGET, and a PALACE!!

Yes, a palace! So we’ll explore that one some other day….
