Moving Into Host House

Well yesterday my roommate and I moved into our host house.  We are staying with a lady named Isabela, or Isa for short.  She is a single lady with no kids and some nieces and nephews.  So far she is very nice and she has a nice place.  Of course within the first 15 minutes I knocked something off of the wall and it broke...  She was clearly upset, but I think she got over it by now.  She is a very good cook so far from what we have eaten and she enjoys talking with us.  She also enjoys quiet though, and she gave us quite a bit of information on how to open and close doors so that we don't bother anyone with noise haha.  I'm not sure if I understood her correctly or not but it seems that 2 nieces of hers will be coming to stay at the house also.  They should be there sometime in September I think and one of her past students is also coming back for a short visit in September.  She has been hosting kids in her house for 26 years and Americans for 22 years so she knows how its done I think.  We don't have A/C or internet at the house so that is pretty aggravating.  It is very hot and that makes it tough to sleep.  I think we will get more used to it as the time goes.  There are also like 7 wireless internet networks that we can reach from our house but they all have passwords.  We are planning on meeting some of the neighbors at some point and asking if we can use the internet.  Our first day of class was today, and it looks like we are going to have a pretty wide variety of levels in the class with me being somewhere in the middle which is good.  I was worried about that.  Also, I have talked to the teachers about my internship, and we have a place or two in mind that we are going to look into when things get going around here again.  Much of the city of Sevilla goes on vacation during August and/or July so the tennis clubs are kinda on half operation right now.  Today I'm planning on getting a phone for here and then I think I'll be able to rent a bike also which will be great.  Well that's all for now so over and out.

  1. Does Isa also need to show you how to properly step over the rug so it doesn't get twisted up? hahah! Just remember, don't slam the door slammie wammie! Don't worry about breaking something, in 20 years of hosting, I'm sure she's used to things getting messed up. I hope a nice spanish neighbor will give you the password so you can get some www.
    Buena Suerte en tus classes.
