It's funny how time passes. Since I arrived here on the 28th of August, time has seemed to fly. But then, when I think back to leaving my own house in Burlington, it feels like such a long time ago. Strange how it all works.
I've definitely acclimated to the Spanish way of life. It is laid-back, easy-going and probably quite healthy. Every morning I've gotten up around 7:50 to start my day. I eat breakfast (I'll post something about the food a bit later), gather my things and take the bus to school. My preparatory classes last from 9:30 to 1:00. Afterward, we wander around the old part of the city for awhile before walking or taking the bus back for the biggest meal of the day. Siesta time is from around 2:30 to 5:00 (and I have done quite a good job making this a daily habit). I'll then walk down the beach to meet people at la playa de Santa Maria, where we spend (on average) three hours daily. Then it's dinner, chatting, TV time with the family, homework, emails, and bedtime. And that's your average day here in Cadiz.
Not too shabby, huh?
I'm excited to start classes at the UCA next Monday, and I'll get to choose them tomorrow. Hopefully my class schedule here won't stress me out quite like they generally do at the University of Washington. :)
