..Anything Can Happen.. Anything Can Be...

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”  ― Shel Silverstein'

 The literature exam I had last week was a spectacular failure. I spent the whole hour trying to come up with something to write on my paper and wrote down maybe 4 answers. (I was pretty happy with those answers too) But then when the teacher was giving back the tests to everyone else, he basically told me my test was as good blank and didn't bother giving it back to me. But it honestly doesn't bother me, lit. is not going to be my subject this year. :)

Last weekend was the fall AFS orientation, the actually orientation part is really boring, but it's great seeing other AFSers.

All of us from Castilla y Léon and Galicia 

While I've made some really nice Spanish friends and I plan on getting closer to them and making some really good long-term friends, nobody understands you as well as the other exchangers. For the most part we were all instant friends and we all know we can rely on each other. We can all relate to each other on some sort of level and it really nice to know there are other people going through the same things you are and you're not alone.

Yesterday I had my second volleyball practice. Oh how I've missed it. :) 

Are you ready for my super active schedule?

Mondays and Fridays: I go to the gym with my family.

Tuesdays and Thursdays: I have volleyball practice. 

And Wednesdays: I have PE at school for two of my hours, except it's not like PE in America where we play games or do sports. No, we actually do workouts. Jump ropes, med ball, weights, etc....

Tomorrow I have a math exam, I hope I'll pass it.... but we'll see how it goes haha :D

This weekend Madrid. Then Monday and Tuesday no school! :)

And random fact: Sunday it drizzled. It was the first any sign of rain of any sorts since I've been in Spain. Monday it down poured and since then the weather has been cold, windy, cloudy, and on and off rain :/ Also there is no 'fall' in at least the northern part of Spain. No changing of the leaves, only cool day... it goes straight from summer to winter or at least that's what it feels like.. I don't even want to think about how cold it's going to be in January or February when it's supposed to be the coldest.... 

Adios <3

ps. Last month sometime I went with my family climbing these

'little' mountains close to Valladolid (did I write about this already?)

anyways here's a link to pictures of me and everyone I went 

with on the town's website: Pictures of 'Lote' 

They spelled my name wrong.. :| but I think it's cool that they put me on

their website :)
