As long as we keep on dreaming, we've got the world...
Hola!! We moved out of the hostel this morning (yay!!) and in with Lucia temporarily. She took us to UPV this morning, and we became official students! We go back later in the week to pick what sections of the classes we want. We also looked online for apartment ads while we were there, and after some searching, we found a few. We ate lunch in UPV's version of Garst (MSU's dining hall); they give you a TON of food for lunch! We had this cheesy, meaty enchilada mixture on one plate and this rice that tasted like Doritos on another. It wasn't bad, but we felt really stupid while going through the line because we didn't know what we were supposed to do. Oh well! Oh, here's something that's VERY different from Garst: when choosing your drink in the cafeteria, you can choose water, pop, juice, or ALCOHOL! That's so weird and hard to get used to! I chose Coke. :)
When we returned to Lucia's, we both took naps and watched a bit of TV (CNN in English and The Simpsons in Spanish), and then Lucia took us back into the city in order to view the apartment. We both really liked it! There are four bedrooms total; a French girl and some other guy will be living there, and the other two bedrooms are empty. It's across the street from campus, in the price range of our scholarship money, HAS INTERNET!!, in the neighborhood that Lucia and Alberto like to hang out in, and is basically just everything we want! However, the people are showing it to more people tomorrow, and then they will call us to tell us whether or not we got it. Pray for us!!! This seems like the perfect place, but we'll see...
Alberto brought us to his parents' office to get on the internet (I think they think we are addicted!) because they don't have it in their apartment. In a few minutes, we are going to watch Alberto play soccer (or football, as they call it!). Later, there will be dinner, and we may show Lucia and Alberto a movie in English (with Spanish subtitles)! They are very eager to learn English, and it's fun teaching them.
Anyway, adios for today (or until we have internet access again)!
...spinning right in our hands.

Alli -
I just got to read your blog today for the first time. The school won't let me read it due to firewall crap. I will have to make sure to get on-line often at home to check it. It sounds like you are having an amazing time. I am so proud of you for venturing to another country, enjoying yourself, and listening to God to lead you in the right direction. I hate not having you here but you could not have missed this opportunity! Thank you so much for keeping us updated - please continue (although it makes me very jealous). Miss you!

My little Allibug! I miss you very much. Spain must be wonderful from what I have read. I hope you are having a great time. Will you be bringing a Spanish husband home to p-creek at the end of the semester?? Well I will try to read this often, seeing as your life now is a million times more awesome than mine :) I just want you to remember a few things: Keep your back straight, shoulders back, legs together, hands out of pockets, and don't flirt with them boys!! I love you!
"Where are you wenishead?" You wrote that on a post-it note on my desk when you came up two weeks ago! That seems so far away now! If I could write you a post-it note to put on your desk it would be: FYI - I added MB to the make-out list yesterday ;)
