Day 5

Today was our first day of class. I apparently placed intermediate (not too shabby), and am completely glad that I opted to take only one class. Consequently, I only have class from 9-11 instead of from 9-2. I’d much rather have time free so that I can explore the city and enjoy my summer.

After class I ended up losing track of the other people who finish class at 11 so I decided I would wait around for the 1 o’clock people and then go home with them. Initially I was going to explore the campus, but it was too hot and I didn’t know where to go. I found the other Michelle and ended up having lunch with her until it was time to find  the others.

Once we got back to the house, we had lunch then went on a venture to find el Parque del Oeste. It had beautiful views of the city, and was a little calm oasis away from the city. We walked around for quite awhile, and tried to visit the palace of the royal family, but it was already closed for the night.

Some of us decided to go out for the night, but I chose to stay in again, simply because I knew we have to wake up early tomorrow. Eleni, Elena, Graziella and I infiltrated Ron’s room and had a mini bonding session to get to know each other a little better. It was a simple, but relaxing night.
