It's Maddie and India, preparing for our month-long adventure in Zaragoza, Spain. For almost a year now we have been planning to attend Zaragoza's own Sacred Heart, Sagrado Corazon. We will be spending the first hours of 2010 on a plane traveling 3664 miles away from home. We are prepared to face the inevitable language barrier as Gringas (Americans) in Spain. With the help of six years of Spanish classes and the occasional glance at our Spanish-English dictionaries, we hope to learn and enjoy the people, culture and food of Zaragoza.

Recreo / Comida y Biblioteca

Hoy, tengo dos cosas para decir sobre de esta lunes y martes. Voy a hablar sobre los recreos y el tiempo que maddie y yo estamos en la biblioteca. Cada dia Maddie y silvia van a casa para comer porque ellas suertes viven menos de un minuto del collegio! Pero para comida Claudia y yo quedamos en escuela para, pues para comer jajaja. Tenemos dos horas para comer.. me gusta mucho porque antes de comida tenemos cinco clases!!

Ayer comí con claudia y cinco chicos de nuestro grado, sergio, jordana, manzano, carlos y guillermo (Oye, sabes que en ingles guillermo es William! facto divertido jajaja). Para comida teniamos pasta, el pasta tiene carne... entonces yo tenia una pasta especial. El concepto de vegetarianismo se fascino todos los chicos y immedietamente pregunto si yo era una religion differente como, hindu o budista. Despues de comer fuimos afuera para hablar. Afuera hablamos sobre todo pero mucho del tiempo ellos preguntan a mi que es los estados unidos. ( son muy celosos que tenemos mas tiempo en el verano para vacaciones)Un chico muy gracioso se llama Manzano pregunta a mi si yo puede ensenarle el himno americano. Tambien manzano trato a cantar "I'm Yours" por Jason Mraz.

Hoy para comida... hacemos el mismo pero hace mucho fria afuera (estaba lloviendo) y entonces nosotros hablamos adentro.

La biblioteca es una lugar que Maddie y yo vamos cada dia cuando tenemos clases como, lengua o biologias ( clases muy aburidos y cuando no entendemos Nada!). Hacemos deberes por Sagrado Corazon en los estados unidos. La biblioteca es una pequena habitacion donde no se permite hablar. Hoy tengo un historia muy divertida sobre mi segunda visita a la biblioteca. Para clase de lengua yo voy a la biblioteca sin maddie. Y cuando estabo a punto de ir, un chico de mi clase, Alberto, pregunata me " Donde vas?" Y yo explico mi situacion. Y le preguntó si podía faltar a clase lenguaje tambien. Me reí de el y salí de clase. Pero cinco minutos mas tarde el entro la biblioteca y me sonrio. Mas tarde me aprende que se metió en problemas a propósito, sólo para que pudiera faltar a clase y ir a la biblioteca, como yo.

Today, I have two things to say about this Monday and Tuesday. I will talk about the breaks and the time that Maddie and I are in the library. Every day Maddie and Silvia walk home to eat because they live less than a minute from school! But for lunch Claudia and I stay in school, to eat. We have two hours to eat .. I like this long break a lot because we have five classe before lunch!

Yesterday I ate with claudia and five boys in our grade, Sergio, Jordana, Manzano, Carlos and Guillermo (Hey, you know that Guillermo is William English! funny fact of the day!). For lunch we had pasta, the pasta has meat ... so I had regular pasta. The concept of vegetarianism is fascinated by the spainards and they immedietly asked if I was a different as religion, like Hindu or Buddhist. After lunch we went outside to talk. Outside we talked about everything, but most of the time they ask me about the United States. (They are very jealous that we have more time in the summer for vacation)A very funny boy named Manzano asked me if I can teach the American anthem. Manzano also tried to sing "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz to me.



The library is a place that Maddie and I go every day when we have classes such as, language and biology (very boring classes that we don't understand !). We do our homework for Sacred Heart in the United States. The library is a small room where talking is not allowed. Today I have a funny story about my second visit to the library. For language class I go to the library without maddie. And when I was about to go, a boy in my class, Alberto, asked me "Where you going?" And I told him how I was going to the library because I didn't like language class. He laughed and asked If he could come with me. I laughed and told him to have fun in language and left the classroom not thinking much more about it. I was studying in the library for less than five minutes when a smirking Alberto walked into the library sat at my table holding two notebooks. He purposefully was obnoxious and disruptive in class to the point that the teacher told him to go to the library. I couldn't help but to laugh at the determination he had to get out of language class . I just hope I haven't given him any ideas of what to do in the future. It is VEry very very late in Spain right now and I do have school tommorow so I will finnish my post right ( and going to bed) Now
