It rained in Madrid today for the first time since I've been here. It wasn't too bad when Rachel and I were walking home from the metro stop, but there will probably be many more rainy days during this season. I've never really used an umbrella much in my life, so naturally I didn't bring one here...
Tomorrow I only have one more class and then it's the weekend! Although I feel like it's already the weekend since I'm going out tonight.. :) but don't worry, Mom- I did my homework for tomorrow.
Classes are going well, but I already have a lot to do for next week- 3 presentations and a paper. eek! It should be a really fun weekend though. Saturday is "La Noche en Blanco," a night were the city literally does not sleep. The museums are open all night and there are a lot of cultural activities. So I'm planning on doing that and some other tourist-y things this weekend with my roommates/friends.
Today in classes, I realized that some of my teachers also struggle with the language barrier sometimes. I'm not sure how fluent my International Media professor is in English, but today he was asking what the English words are for some words he was saying in Spanish. I never really thought about how it would be on the 'other side...'- being fluent in Spanish and trying to learn English. Sometimes I feel kind of stupid or get frustrated when I don't know how to say something or can't say something fast enough, but learning a second language is challenging for anyone. We just have to keep trying. :)
