Hi friends,
Well, I didn’t go to the Rastro on Sunday, but I did something much cooler—had dinner with Sonja (for those of you who don’t know, Sonja was our au pair when I was 7 years old). I hadn’t seen her in about 6 years, so it was wonderful for us to catch up. We met at her hotel and then went to a little café a few blocks away. The food was good, and we talked for 3½ hours. She asked about everyone in the family, so she’s updated on everything that’s been going on for the past few years. If everything works out, she might be able to come back to Madrid at the end of March or the end of April, so Mom, Emma, and M might get to see Sonja!
Monday and Tuesday were ordinary days of class and some homework. I had an essay due in Spanish today. We read a chapter from a book that is about writing. The chapter was all about how to write a good sentence. It reminded me of other books that I’ve read (in English, of course) about learning to write well. It’s interesting but a little difficult to understand the examples when they’re in Spanish. Anyway, the essay had to be a critical review of the chapter. I’m not sure what grade I’ll get, but I felt pretty good about my writing. We’ll see, I suppose…
Today is Ash Wednesday, so I’m going to mass in a little bit. And no meat for dinner tonight. I’ve thought a little bit about what I might want to give up for Lent, and I’ve decided to give up taking the elevator and eating potato chips. Healthy choices—maybe they’ll become healthy habits?!
That’s all for now folks. Hope you’re having a great week.
Love,
Elizabeth
