daily routine.....

Everyday, I get up around 7:30, get ready at around 8:00 and went to breakfast with Kelsey and Brittany. There are fruits, juice, cookies, coffees and cereals everyday. Sometimes there are churros, croissants, toasts, or doughnuts. I hate the coffee in the dorm but sometimes I am so sleepy that I have to drink it for the caffeine. The doughnuts in Spain are not as sweet as the doughnuts in the US and I really like them.

After breakfast, I go to the culture class. If I am tired that morning, I usually couldn’t help falling asleep in the class. But I usually feel much more awake in the Spanish class. J After school, I usually go back to the dorm for lunch and take a nap. Then my friends and I will discuss what we are going to do in the afternoon and go out then. After that, dinner, homework, go to bed.

The stairs in front of the dorm and the hill between University of Deusto and the dorm are definitely “special”. I absolutely HATE them!!! I’ll remember them for a long time.

Suggestions:

1.       Do something that you would not do in the US.

2.       Speak Spanish. It’s the best place to practice Spanish, there won’t be such good environment when you go back to the US.

3.       Try the food that is typical in Basque Country or Spain. You might not like it though, but it’s fun to try.

4.       If there’s a festival, go! Probably for a lot of us, it’s our only time in Spain.

5.       Choose to stay with host family. Living in the dorm is fun, but you can learn more about Spain and talk in Spanish. Everybody lives with host family loves it.
