i get by

sefira and kelley eating delicious gofres and crepes

So its probably about time to talk about my life in Cordoba! I can't believe I'm more than halfway through my program. Its going by insanely quickly! I'm at Cafe di Roma now, a cafe really close to my house thats open during siesta and I remember going to this cafe one of the first few days of the program with two girls and having my first cafe con leche and gofre (waffle with melted chocolate on it) and talking about what our program was going to be like and our first impressions of our families and how our spanish was awful. Now I feel much more adjusted to live in Cordoba and more confident with my spanish, although I still have moments of tongue-tied frustration. Anyway, I have to leave for my flamenco class soon but the picture up top is of my two best friends here- Sefira y Kelley. Sefira is an adorable little hippie girl from Santa Cruz who is a lot like me in our general outlook on the world and also our taste in clothing (which is awesome because i'm always stealing her clothes), but also different enough so that I'm learning a lot from her. Kelley is a conservative from so-cal who loves country music (so basically the complete opposite of me) but she never takes herself too seriously and so whenever im constantly laughing when i'm around her. This is starting to sound kind of yearbooky/ birthday card-ish so i'm gonna stop here, but suffice to say that i've found some really amazing people here that i'm sure i'll be friends with for the rest of my life. Well as usual I'm late and my computer is running out of battery so this is the end, my friends. 

peace,
