Roommates!!!

This week the house filled up with my new roommates, and the texture of my living situation has changed dramatically. So we are five, 2 Spanish, 1 Chinese, 1 Italian, and 1 American, the international dynamic adds a completely fresh layer to my already new experience. We are 2 guys and 3 Girls, let me describe briefly what I think I know of them so far…..Jose Alberto is an engineer (I think) from Spain who has a great sense of humor easy to be around and is learning English and he likes western movies. He is the only non-full time student. Carmen, the most recent to move in is from somewhere by Cadiz, which is and area I want to visit badly. Carmen is getting her masters in some kind of biological science thing and to make things worse is super attractive. She always has a pleasant smile the kind that shows in ones eyes. Then there is the sweetest person in the world, Weijei Li is the youngest of our crew she is from a large city in China and prefers to be called Aurora which fits her radiant personality to a “T”. She has been in Spain a year already studying something business like. She loves to cook traditional Chinese food and loves to share we are going to get along great. Finally there is Alesia from northern Italy she just flew in to Granada to complete some kind of tourism based degree through a work study internship (I think). Alesia and I walked around the city yesterday visiting the Alhambra, some Galleries and museums, and old churches. Not only does Alesia have serious Diva qualities (the good kind, like unassuming confidence and beauty) but she is fluent in at least 3 languages and is working on 2 more, Chinese and Finnish (eeeek!) Class this week was intense but not overwhelming, Ive got to do a lot of vocabulary research and review to make sure I am up to speed in my two classes that are more academic bases, Iconography (study of mythological and religious imagery used in art and architecture) and Psychology of visual perception. Enjoy the fotos, they are a mix of images from the tour of Granada with Alessia on a warm and sunny Saturday.
