The grading scale is, obviously, a little bit different here. Anything that is a 5 and above is passing. I failed 3 classes: P.E., Spanish Lit, and Physics/chemistry. I was actually very pleased with myself because there were many other students who failed just as many or more than me.
Katrina came the weekend we got out of school if I remember correctly. She spent the night in my house, and we went to Telepizza with my boyfriend and his friends so she could meet him in person. The next day, we went to Madrid with Lucia, Aidyn, Sean, and some of their Spanish friends.
Other exciting things that have happened:
I went to a Belén, which is a real live nativity set with tons of people dressed up standing still, with Asier's family.
We had Christmas in the house and Papa Noel came and brought us gifts. He doesn't come in the middle of the night here. He actually rings the doorbell at 12ish and leaves all the gifts on the doorstep.
New Year's Eve- we ate 12 grapes in the 12 last seconds of the year.
Afterwards, at about 2:30, we went to a party in Ajalvir and didn't return till 6:30 a.m.
Día de los Reyes- now the three wise men come, and they actually come during the night and they woke up to gifts
I lost my passport, credit card, and money or it was stolen in the metro
Later, I found my passport in the airport after talking to the police
