Time

I get to be here for about 10 months and I already feel like there's not enough to get to do all the things I want to do! I've been here over a month, already! A whole month! Can you believe it?! Time has been flying these past few weeks!

I feel like now that I got the key parts of the Spanish language down, I will be learning very fast, now. However, Catalan will become a priority after I have become nearly fluent in Spanish so it's not really my concern as of now.

Tonight, might be going out, might not, I do not know yet. I don't know what's going on with Catalonia but it's been raining like the dickens here for the past week. Last week parts of Spain were totally flooded out the wazoo but with all the rain here there has still been no major flooding. Props to whoever built the sewage system in Vic!

Port Aventura was spectacular! I took a video on one of the coasters that I will upload tomorrow! It's really shakey but it's still really awesome. Most of you on Facebook already saw all the photos but fi you didn't you definitely should.

The 3 day school week was really nice, but this weekend is going by really fast, too. The life here is very fast paced. VERY, VERY, VERY fast paced. Before I came here I always heard that here it was like one giant party, and that people went out and had fun every single day regardless of what was going on. But I don't think I understood fully. NOW, now I do. hahahah it's crazy!

I've said it before, and I will say it again the people here are the nicest people in the entire world! I've really been growing fond of my family here, too. But my host father is gone often so it is hard to practice Spanish with him sometime. I spend a lot of my time doing things related to the blog or Youtube videos, and I love reading the other exchange student blogs.

At this point, there are only two complaints which I have about life here on my exchange. They're both very minor, which really says a lot about life here. The flies, and the Rotary club. I'll get into more detail when I post a vlog next.

You know, it's interesting....in America the exchange students come and nobody pays much attention to them and they end up grouping together and not getting the full affect of an exchange. However, here it was completely different. I had friends on the first day, and it's been incredible ever since. I'll certainly take a different look on exchange students when I get back to america.

I feel very welcomed here. I feel a part of the people. Even though, obviously I am not. Half the time I wear that face of "I'm totally trying to understand you but it's in one ear and out the other". Here in Vic I get the sense of family. It's a town of 40,000 and I'm pretty sure I've already seen all 40,000 at least 3 times. See what I mean? It's got a very homie feel. So does, Hamilton...but not in the same way.

Being here now makes me look at America as a tourist home. Like Rome has become, and the same with Venice. Even though over half of Vic's population isn't Catalonian, it still feels homie.

Anyways, that's the stuff that's been running through my head lately and what life is like here. Hopefully I'll have more time soon for a spectacular full in depth look on life. 0.o WHOO POW.
