Well yesterday we got to campus and I got my placement test score and I am in Track IV so that means I get credit for 410 and 411 which is just what I needed for my minor requirement so that was very exciting. Then we went on a walking tour of Bilbao, but It was raining pretty hard so that was less than spectacular. I´m going to go back and walk past the guggenhiem and stuff and take pictures when Its sunny and nice. A lot of the architecture in downtown Bilbao is nice too I like it a lot. The guggenhiem though is definitely a unique structure, and I look forward to going inside!
The night before I had made plans with a person who has been here for a whole year to go the english academy she works at and I did that and within an hour I was teaching a group of about 8 12 year olds english. They have a spot for me on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5-6 which is perfect because My evenings are free as my latest class ends at 3:30. Hopefully I can get more hours there or find another place that needs us. Apparently the pay is about 11€ an hour and so that would be a good source of extra income for the weekends and stuff.
Then I went to Corte inglés which is like an everything store kinda of a macy´s and a wal mart but classier and pricier. Its seven stories high though and has a market and a cafeteria. Walked around and went to the market and I FOUND THE MEXICAN AISLE(sp?) ! They had mexian valentina extra hot sauce! and taco mix and regular tortilla chips. the mix eas expensive by my wal-mart standards but tacos are pretty much a staple of my diet so this is pretty sick! Although they dont eat spciy foods in restaurants I have managed to find tabasco, valentina, and siracha sauce which is sooooo cool!
