lessons learned

so the theme for this weekend was lessons. i personally think i learned a lot this weekend. on saturday the girls from the dorm and i went shopping. i went to ikea for the first time - i must say, its pretty amazing. after we decided to go to a bigger mall called MAXcenter. long story short we got lost and ended up taking the long way which brought us back to where we started by ikea. lesson learned: transportation mishaps can be funny and also teach you about how to more efficiently navigate the city.

today i attempted to go to church with Taylor, Astrid and Kimberly. We made it but we were half an hour late. The sheet with the mass times that I got at school was wrong. Lesson learned: we now know the actual mass times at the church closest to us. it did feel nice to be in church. i felt comfortable and welcoming. i'm excited to go back next week and make it for the whole mass.

i went to casco viejo with kimberly and lauren for the afternoon. we found a coffee shop on the plaza nueva. it might be one of my new favorite places. we sat on the second story and it overlooked the plaza (the picture on the left). it had wifi and was decorated with modern furniture. also, the coffee was SO good. it wanst a microscopic sip! i was a nice big cup of coffee! we did homework and just talked and attempted to do some research on a weekend trip to paris we are planning. after, we went to laurens apartment at watched the holiday. i love that movie, it always puts me in such a good mood! i had a nice walk home to the dorm. it was breezy outside and i enjoyed observing all the different people on the street as i walked back. now its just homework and hanging out!

im really loving it here and getting excited about really delving into spanish!
