This was another long day. We had normal classes. We asked our senora if we could have bocadillos (sack lunch), and they had really weird meat and cheese on them again, so we ended up going to McDonald's. We ate quick and then went to the public library for multiple hours. We stayed until after 7. The library was jam packed! It was mostly adults, but in Spain, students stay in school longer, and my teacher told us that they start studying about a month in advance for exams here! At 7:30 we met at school with a bunch of high school students that are studying english, and they will be our intercambios. Intercambios are students that we meet up with each week and talk to them so that we can both improve the language we are studying. We did it in the form of speed dating first, where we sat in a line, and we had 2 minutes with each student to get to know them. After that we got to choose one to be our intercambio. I chose one of the girls, and she was really nice, so I look forward to meeting with her! After that we went home for dinner, and we had chicken that had freezer burn, with potato chips, and some other food which I didn't know what it was, and we didn't like it. Our senora asked if we liked it, and we said no. She couldn't believe it! Oh well. We like a lot of her other food, but I just couldn't handle that one! After dinner I continued studying, and panicking. I have my history and grammar exam tomorrow, and I'm so nervous!
