This morning was a special day for me. I woke up at 830 to get ready for this momentous day, and promptly fell back asleep until 9. But then I got up and got ready.... in a hurry. I left the piso at 915 togive myself enough time to walk all the way down to Camino de Ronda where I was to meet someone at Hostal AB. After consulting my map, I made my way down and arrived with 15 minutes to spare before I was to meet them. However, it took my 17 minutes to find the damn hostal. Turns out I was on the wrong side of the street, but its not as bad as it sounds because its a big street and i had to walk into the block to find the hostal. Anyways, upon arriving I met Esperanza, my new coworker. Thats right, I GOT A JOB!!!!!! Its pretty exciting and the hostal is very low key so no worries about being super proper and formal and appeasing absolutely everyone to the point where I am licking their shoes clean. I am a receptionist there and its gonna be way guai. Anyways, I got a tour and a run down of how everything works and it seems pretty simple so Ill let you all know how it goes once I start next Tuesday.
Then I went to classes, well, one class out of the three. We got out early frommy first class and I went to the library to research linguistic-y stuff and it made me soooo happy that I didnt go to my next class. I stayed and literally read the dictionary of linguistics and phonology for entertainment long after I had enough information for my paper. Go ahead, judge me, but you will never know the joy of apocope or subordinate clauses. Ill keep this blog relatively short and end by saying that I have played Under the Blacklight by Rilo Kiley about 30 times straight in the last two days. Im obsessed. I just wish I hadnt found out about this 2 or 3 months after it came out. Dang Atlantic Ocean separating me from my favorite music!
Hasta luego!

its funny to me that your blog is in english but the rest of the site seems to be in espanol . . . good times. I am really hoping I am going to have some idea of what the hell people are saying to me when I come to visit because if not, well, I am going to have to play the dumb american card . . . perhaps you should write a blog on "How to Not Be A Dumb American in Granada"
I bought this little book here called "Schott's Original Miscellany" and it's just a book of random things, like what different clouds are called, or what the order of courses are in a 7 course meal. There's this one section on the different types of rhetoric Churchill used. It lists everything from litotes to brachylogia. In other words, it's totally rad. Even fucking scesis onomaton (which is not to be confused with anaphora) is on the list, and it gives examples of each and... *happy sigh*
