Hola, Gang!
Well, I´ve started to move my stuff into my apartment slowly, but I won´t move in fully until next weekend when they stop feeding us for free in the dorm....clearly I´ve never been one to turn down free food. I´ve been slowly stealing roles of toilet paper, too, to use in the apartment so that I won´t have to buy any. What can I say?
I already booked my first two trips. On to Germany in October to visit our exchange student Lena and one to visit my awesome cousin Katie who is having me in Amsterdam Oct. 31-Nov. 4. I´m super excited for both of the trips, gives me something to look forward to.
Last night was my first night out on the town here. It was a bit hard since ALL 20 of the Americans went together, but it was still pretty fun. The students here don´t go out until midnight at the earliest so we were out until 6am (and that was early!)....finally a country who ¨gets me¨! Stay up all night, nap all day...what more could I ask for?
As for now, I´ve been focusing hard on saying all the stores I will visit here in Spain phonetically, as the Spaniards say them. Here is a list for you to try and figure out:
es-tar-booocks.
ka-efe-se.
macdoo-nal-ds.
boo-ger keeng.
(Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds, Burger King...all of which are located in Madrid!)

Holland or Bust

I'm SO looking foward to your visit! For years you tailed along in November on our yearly shopping trips to Grand Ave. Now, it's a November trip to HOLLAND! Instead of eating at Auntie Annie's, we'll be munching on Sauzenbrooje down by the North Sea! If only your dad was with us!
BTW- So jealous that you have a Starbucks!
You are going to have so much fun with your cousin Katie! I am jealous. What is more fun, Madison for Halloween or Amsterdam? Did you know that since you left the states that ND football has fallen apart? You need to chase me down again!
Haha, I know ND! Since the Irish aren´t playing well and the Badgers will be drunk, I can´t wait to spend Halloween in Amsterdam with the Leavers! Best HALLOWEEN ever!!!! Wo-wo!
