My Spanish continues improving, but it's a very, very steep uphill battle. And slow. I actually started a language exchange the other day with a guy named Alvaro who's studying English on his own. We're doing two hours a week... An hour of English, an hour of Spanish. This should help, although not enough of course. I just need to keep finding as many outlets as possible to practice.

I've also been inspired to take up another language (since, all things considered, my Spanish is very good), so I think when I get back to AU I'll start French classes. Learning another language is actually one option I have for a requirement for my major, so it will even count toward something.

Things are going pretty well here, but I've pretty much settled into a routine. Wake up late, class all day, home at 9, dinner at ten, reading and playing on the computer till about 2, then sleep. Of course, the week is only four days long, and I spend a significant amount of time going out. So I'm not complaining.

I finally got in touch with the bank to give me my PIN number for my debit card (I wish I had known it was as simple as sending an e-mail a month ago). So that crisis is finally resolved (I believe) and I have access to funds now.

Speaking of routines, it's time for dinner.

Hasta luego.
