Spinning Pizza Dough

Hola,
Well now that I finally figured out how to log onto the blog... (my internet is now all in spanish, and I swear I clicked every button on the blog page before I finally figured out which one meant, "sign in").... I shall tell you about Spain so far.
The flights were fine. I had to surrender our jar of peanut butter in our surprise box at security. In the Philadephia airport, a few of us went to go buy pizza and one worker their made a deal with me that if I could throw the pizza dough in the air and spin it I would get my pizza free. So he made me stand in a very visible spot and attempt to spin this pizza dough in the air. Believe it or not I didn't drop it, and I got free pizza. Once we made it to Madrid in the morning we were all a little tired, okay really tired. After 8 hours in the Madrid airport we were indescribably tired, thought it could also be described as grumpy. And guess what? ALL of our bags made it to Sevilla. We were greeted upon arrival in Sevilla by our families.
My family is wonderful. We didn't even run out of things to talk about in the car on the way home. Okay it was only a 25 minute car ride, but still. I unpacked, gave my family their gifts, and showered before leaving for a party at 8:00 (oh and I forgot to say that I ate a cheese sandwich). Annie and I were the only two exchange students there. The party was very very different from here. I think I was in a bit of culture shock. It was fun though. Dancing can be fun, even though I am terrible at it. I sort of faded out and was so tired that I just sort of fell asleep on a couch at the party at about 12:30 then we left at 1:30. I was expecting to sleep in, since I was so sleep deprived. My host sister said I should definitely just sleep in and it was totally okay. So I was expecting I wake up at maybe 10 or 11.... No, I wake up and look at my watch at it is freaking 1:30 in the afternoon. I have never slept so late in my entire life.
At 3:00, Ana and I and Annie, Leah, Christina, Julie, and Andrea went out to lunch in Sevilla at an Italian place then walked around by the river, After which we hung out for a bit and then met up with Wes, Buck, and Ian and their host siblings. Ana and I left and went home. We just had dinner and now I am going to get some sleep so I am less tired for school tomorrow.
