No class Wednesday!

Monday was my birthday and I turned twenty in Spain. I'll never forget that one! I have a Spanish film class on Monday afternoon and after that a group of us went to this Irish pub for mi cumpleaño! Pilar made a cheesecake for me! It's kind of funny because they don't sing happy birthday over here (I guess) so she just told me to go get eat my cake in the kitchen. And me and Sara have eaten almost the whole thing because P-dog is on a diet! It makes a great breakfast.

On Tuesday I have three classes. I like them for the most part but Spanish Literature is a struggle. I had a hard enough time with English Lit... After lunch Tuesday, Sara and I took the train into Madrid. We were drinking some coffee on the Gran Vía and a homeless man came and asked us for money and about the same time  (what sounded like a) gunshot went off! Don't worry, we made it out alive. Then we met two French girls who are studying here just like us. They are from Paris. We met up with a family-friend of the Weir's that has lived in Madrid for five years now. She told us lots of things to know about Madrid! Now I have to get my picture taken for my student I.D. Miss ya, tiger card.
