Escuela en Alcalingua

So I just finished my first week of classes her in Alcala. The school we go to is actually called Alcalingua, which is the area the foreign students study. I am taking an institute class that has homework and stuff, at byu they call it religion, and we get a grade in it. I thought it was kind of strange that we get graded on how well we feel the spirit and write down our feelings, but I guess that is the way it is. Our teacher for that class is sweet! He is a native, Faustino Lopez! He was once the President of the Malaga mission in Spain and is now the CES director. He seems like a very button down shirt and tie kind of guy, yet he did crack some jokes. (although they were in Spanish, of coarse, so I could have just heard wrong). That class is all in Spanish. The teachers here don't know English so they don't have the option to ever speak it. That has been the biggest adjustment living in Spain, I sometimes just expect all the spanish to stop, because I need a rest, but it doesn't! Claro. My history class is in English, however, so I guess not all is in Span. It is History of Spain, we are reading books about every place we will visit. I think this will be very helpful. My two Span. classes son muy fantasicas! I have a two hour grammatical class and an hour ad a half conversation class! Both are taught by Angelica! I love this lady already. To start her appearance is sassy and stylish! She wears these tall boots and purple tights and colorful skirts! She has red, like maroon red, bobbed hair! She is a very pretty woman. She is also a great teacher! She tells us important things that especially pertain to Spain. She acts things out as she tells us, we all end up laughing a lot in the class! She is such a nice lady. One the first day she told us about her little three year old and told us how much she loves to be a mom and how important it is to raise kids. Her class is hard, but I have already learned so much spanish from her! I bet she is one of the coolest persons(is that right or is it people?) I have met here. I have also posted some pictures from Madrid! I have only been in the city once, but I am going today and tomorrow! It is amazing! Here is the Palacio Royal where the king and queen live! and the other one is just some girls and I in front of the fuente del sol!
