Football! Football! Football!!! ... But I'm getting ahead of myself.
So today I had my first exam in Lengua Castellana. Lucky me huh? Well it wasn't all bad because the teacher realize after about 5 seconds (and I'm not exaggerating) that I didn't have a chance of taking that test. So she wrote me up 3 questions to answer. They were:
Describe tu familia y ciudad.
Que te gusta mas aqui?
Que echo de menos?
I won't bother with the description but I will inform you of my other two answers!
The thing I like the most here is the food. At first it was like getting drop-kicked in the face by a large burly man named Chuck because the flavor was so strong. But now I love it. I have a LOT more to say on the topic of food and one of these days I'll get up the motivation to write about it.
The thing I miss the most I am sad to say was football (the other day I found my doodles turning into pass routes). But that's because it was on my mind because today was the day I started playing futbol americano here in Spain.
There's a team here in Las Rozas that practices less than a kilometer from my house so I can walk there are back if I need to. It's actually one of only three teams in all of Madrid (which means it's probably one of about 10 in Spain) and they're called the Black Demons... now read that again and try to tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor!
So anyway, today was the first day and I am happy to say I would have done Coach Roth proud. There wasn't a single person who I was guarding that caught a pass, and after the first hour the coaches had started asking me questions about how to do some things. I must say it's quite satisfying to go from semi-decent JV player to varsity all-star without actually doing anything other than get on a plane! So I have so high hopes for this spanish-american-football.
Anywho it's getting late and I do have school in the morning even if it is only ingles first hour.
