Every day is better than next. Today was student orientation and i met tons of people. We took our placement test and i got placed in the advanced spanish. I don't exactly think that i am qualified to be in that level, so i may change to the intermediate once classes begin. After registration and all, some of us girls took an adventuresome walk into Sagunto, the nearest town. It was quite the experience. First, spanish people drive like maniacs...tailgating, driving in the middle of the road, and yelling who knows what. The school is surrounded by orange groves, so we had to walk down the orange grove road, through the tunnels, across the small little river and finally into town. Once we got into town, we met these cute old men playing bocce ball. They asked us to play, but unfortunately we didn't have much time, so we had to decline the invitation. I was sad because i LOVE my bocce time!!! I'm not sure if i've said it enough, but the food here is terrible so when we were in town we got some food at la bocasteria....it was delicious. It was like heaven to my poor stomach.
