italiano?

People keep thinking im italian!!!

This italian family on the metro on my way here asked me if i was and then these two younger girls who knew a little little bit of english were talking to me for a few minutes, and for some reason asked my mothers name....then as i left the metro there was a younger guy playing can you feel the love tonight from the lion king.

classes start tuesday. im dying for some schedule in my life. i was going to say "i need to use my brain" but then realized thats all ive been doing since ive gotten here. Not that many people speak catalan that ive encountered, and if they do, they also speak castillian. Its difficult to understand either language when they talk so damn fast... most ofthe kids in my dorm arent actually from barcelona, their from other parts of spain, so they dont even speak a little catalan. no roomates yet. maybe today, maybe tomorrow...but soon i bet.

im onmy laptop right now at the IES computer lab and my ichat isnt working...i dont know if it will work at the dorm or not!!!! AHHHH!!!

i went out last night for thefrist time. we didnt really have a "barcelona" night yet (staying out to 6 or 7) but we did drink very delicious sangria and eat tapas at a very cool bar off of las ramblas called L'ovella negra. (the black sheep)

There was a raffle at ies for 4 tickets to the Liceu Opera house to see this dance and music show on monday night and i won one!!! the only raffle ive ever won!!! The funny thing is so did Tim Granholm (the guy from OPRF) and this other girl we were talking to at the time they were pickign the numbers. it was very strange.

ok here are some pictures.
