Last night I went out with some friends, so I got a late start today. I guess I got lucky because my classes don't start until 1:00. I know people who have class at 9:00 am, so this is definitely a relief. I had Spanish for a couple of hours today, where we are working on some basic things like phrases to use in restaurants, stores, etc. I got lucky two semesters in a row because my Spanish teacher is extremely nice.
After Spanish I went to eat tapas for the first time. They were very good. I then ran back to my homestay to relax for a few minutes before leaving for the "sunset" cruise. I use quotation marks because the cruise was from 6-8, and ended long before sunset. Not to complain, but it was a bust for the following reasons:
- It was boring
- I got sea sick
- There was not free wine like the poster implied there would be
- We just went up and down the coast a few times

Due to my sea sickness I went to the lower level of the boat. I ended up putting my head down on a table and fell asleep for a few minutes. Not only do I fall asleep in movies all the time, but I also tend to fall asleep on boats because the same thing happening when I visited the Statue of Liberty.
I went to a restaurant with some friends after the cruise and tried paella for the first time. Paella is a rice dish that many times consists of seafood. I stuck to chicken, and it was probably my favorite meal here so far.
That pretty much sums up my day. I probably won't be blogging everyday from this point on, but I'll be sure to update with the highlights.
