Need a New update about school and San Sebastian
We have exams on Monday of next week and the grammar is getting so confusing. I feel like I am learning alot more with my teachers this month than last month. The Chinese kids are as cool as ever and I am ready to go home to Starkville or wherever, to start real school and let things get back into reality. This weekend I will be studying trying to made good grades even though it is only pass or fail. Last weekend we went to San Sebastian where it rained and shined. We did not want to leave at all at first we had this expensive hotel room booked, but later we canceled it so that we could stay for 34 euros in an international youth hostal. It was really fun and we all had a positive experience, not to mention we got to get a real international experience sleeping in a room with 18 girls who probably all spoke more than one language. That night we went out to see some things and walk streets and find a place to eat. We ended up at this place we call "disco burger" even though that is not even close to its name. In San Sebastian there were many English speakers which suprised me even more. I expected French to be spoken more but it really was not. John Mark and Whit ended up renting a scooter to go around town with and the winde ended up blowing it over which they had to pay 90 euros for eek, poor guys. What I enjoyed the most was kiyaking in the big blue bay, it was so much fun and there were a few islands that you could row to and get off. The beach was beautiful and the weather was not to hot, not to cold. It was warm enough to get into the water and not freeze, and it was cold enough not to sweat while walking a long distance. I have the idea of buying a sail boat and just living in the bay of San Sebastian instead of renting an expensive flat or apartment. I would definatly want to go back. The Basque region is really pretty, somewhat temporate, and the weather certainly beats Alcala. I would rather have school in San Sevastian than here in Alacala, but at least Madrid is close to us. We took the bus to San Sebastian and back, it was not as great on the way back because the AC in the bus decided to break and we were stuck at a bus stop for an hour waiting for a new one.
