it snowed here today! needless to say, i was not excited and slept right through it. but people here were freaking out, taking pictures and running around outside. most kids have never seen snow, and its pretty unheard of here. but thanks to global warming and all that, we have been having crazy weather. this morning it was sunny and beautiful, then it hailed, then it snowed, then it downpoured and thunderstormed. crazy.

i finally used skype tonight, and talked to my friend sarv. it was awesome! its completely free and works pretty well. just go to skype.com and download the program, then create a username and you can call me (it works through the computer). my user name is Rbenson8986. i am making skype dates with people to call every week, so if you want to talk on skype just email me and we can chat!

i have an oral presentation tomorrow, boo. and a test on friday that im not too excited about. i think im getting sick but ive been fighting it off, i refuse to be sick here because its just so inconvenient. i took a 2 hour nap today and drank a ton of water and ate 5 clementines (very common here) so hopefully i can stop the cold in its tracks. alright time to go learn about granada. some friends of mine are going this weekend, but i dont have the energy (they are leaving at 3am sat morning) and i dont want to risk getting sick. plus its cold there, colder than here, and id rather go when its nice and sunny. okay hasta luego, i miss you all. email me!
