cordoba

so a lot happened today. woke up, got on the bus, drove 5 hours, arrived in cordoba, my penpal dani came and got us along with his german friend jenny and mark's penpal ana, we finally found our hostel which was in the middle of NOWHERE and by nowhere i mean right by the mezquita but totally out of MY way. as in down cobblestone paths of doom. hostel is nice, room is smaller and colder and i'm pretty sure i'm taller than the bed is long, which should make tonight interesting.

went to dinner, dani made completely inappropriate conversation for a public forum, but the two other americans in our program we met at the bus station seem really cool. mason knows katie o and ilana seems like fun. yay.

i smell like smoke yet again, and HEY guess what?!?!

i locked myself out of my suitcase AGAIN. like i couldnt open it last night and then it finally opened. tonight is different. the lock is back for REVENGE. i tried to cut through it with my knife, but that just ended up with me realizing that the inner core is METAL WIRE. so that was a bad plan. at least its not the suitcase with my clothes in it this time. just you know, the rest of my LIFE. note to self: stop using the silver lock. it sucks.

now going to sleep. meeting up at the hotel and having orientation and meeting my host family tomorrow. YAY!


oh and i had this icecream that i thought looked like funfetti but was in fact closer to an ice cream version of christmas fruitcake. which was disgusting. sorry grandma, but fruitcake is gross.

love you all. ciao!
