Granada time

Yesterday I had a really hard time getting used to the situation. My family seems nice, but my senora was sick and couldn't take me around the city. I got really lost at one point and was frustrated. I don't like to pull out a map and look like a tourist. I finally found where I needed to locate, a meeting point for my group the next day. My house is about 35-40 minutes walking distance to my school. It's a whole another mindset over here. Everyone walks everywhere. An hour is longer, not 40 minutes. My classes start at 9am though, so that is not going to be as fun as it could be. Today I went to my school for the first time and I took my placement test. I am in intermediate, which is what I predicted. Tomorrow I start classes. We walked around Granada. I am not having as much fun as I thought I would because I am fairly lonely. It's hard living with adoptive parents and not being able to say what you want. It will really help me become better at Spanish. I can see the positives building but right now it is an uphill battle (literally and figuratively!)
We saw views of the Alhambra today from the Albycin, an Arab neighborhood. The views were fantastic.
