I promise I'll post pictures soon, I have to take some first haha. I got off the plane in Oviedo and there were 2 other girls waiting, one of which is on my same program! We took the bus to the city together and I live just above the area the bus/train stations are. Marisa, my host mom is very sweet, and she and her daughter, Lucia, said my Spanish was good. Marisa doesn't speak hardly any English, and I don't think I've said more than 2 English words to her. We talked for about an hour though, and now I'm in bed. It's only 9 but I'm so exhausted, and tomorrow we have meetings from 10-5. I cannot wait to meet the rest of the group and explore the city! The plane ride in was gorgeous at landing, with the ocean waves and the blue skies. I wish I could have taken a picture, but I had the aisle seat. Also, a very attractive engineer asked for my number after we got off the plane. Unfortunately, I don't have a phone yet... I probably will never see him again, but we have each other's emails :)
So far, the closest thing I can relate my situation to is the first week of college. Everything is going to be so much fun and I can't wait, but at the same time it's gonna take a few days to adjust to this tiny apartment, the different people, and the culture. However, after today I am very confident that I will quickly fall in love with this city :)
