Obama is my President!

Hey all!

First off part of our group went to our routine cafe which happened to have cnn! So we got a chance to see Obama sworn in live on tv as well as his speech afterwards! (IN ENGLISH) The lovely country of Spain allowed all of us to pop a bottle of champagne thanks to one of the girls host moms as well to kick off our celebration. This was a serious celebration for us, many who are more grateful of this transition since we are abroad. (The Spanish really did not like Bush.)

I am sorry for a lack of updating. I lost my internet connect that I was stealing off the neighbors at my house making updating and checking my email a little more difficult the last few days. Classes are becoming more and more normal. There isn´t that much homework so far and I am quite alright if there never is that much homework.

I am starting to seriously investigate trips. I think I am going to start off with some little one in Spain to other cities before I try anything that big.

My few random thoughts:

The milk is always warm and is always out on the table all day. I understand it must be treated differently. But this sense inside of me does NOT want to drink milk that is warm or has been sitting out all day.

BONES...There is bones in every piece of meat you eat. I know they do cuts of meat differently but are they fans of little bones in everything. Fish I always expect one. Chicken I dont! I wonder if I go to McDonalds if my chicken nuggets will have bones in that too?

I never had glasses as a kid but I always remember the jokes for kids who did. Here it seems to be a fashion statement for both adults and kids to have the most obsurd colors for their glasses. ORANGE! HOT PINK! POKA DOTS!

I had my fountains going off around midnight experience, but I just realized the fountains also go off when its raining. I am wondering if there is someone with a mastor switch for all the fountains in town?

Last but not least, because I am so in love with the fact that Obama is my president, This was yesterdays tv lineup on the national public channel:

*LIVE coverage of Obama being sworn in and all the festivities.
*a Special called: Obama en la casa blanca (Obama in the white house)
* W. the movie
Talk about a love for what went on yesterday!

Thats all for now!
Adios
