Goodbye USA! This is about my life in Barcelona, Spain! I will try to post pictures and keep updating it! My neighborhood - called Vallvidrera - is on the hill overlooking the city!

First Day of School y Más!?
Okay I am aware that I just posted like 2 days ago but here's another one because so much happened! I had my first day of school today - it wasn't a full day - only 2 hours! But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, for some reason I didn't think it would be that bad. The school is big in terms of Barcelona schools, but compared to my school in the USA it is super tiny. There is about 20-some people per class and a total of 50ish for my whole grade I think. My host parent's' drove me and picked up my
friends Laura and Emma who are our neighbors. They also go to Costa i Llobera and they helped a ton! I actually was assigned a locker with Emma (prayers answered here!) She also sits next to me in class! Laura isn't in my class but she is so nice and helps me a lot too! The school is all in Català and I couldn't understand ANYTHING!!! After about 30 minutes, my started hurting really really bad and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was either a:hear English or b: go into a quiet secluded place and not hear anything. After school ended, a teacher wanted to talk with me about my schedule and how I was and what I was thinking etc. By this time, I couldn't comprehend anything and he had to talk really slow in Castellano and I just nodded at everything pretending to understand. He showed me my locker and I opened it faster than he could (his expression was pretty priceless I have to admit). We walked downstairs and went into a room where my host dad was waiting and the teacher and him talked for a while. The school is actually pretty big! I like the layout and how all the classrooms have walls that are windows. It is different! To get to school in the morning, I will meet Laura and walk with her to take this thing called Funicular - a down hill train and then we get off and take the subway to school. It takes a while and is much different than just driving to school like I used too! Here is a few photos of my house and the neighborhood!
