On Tuesday night I had tennis for the first time in a week due to the monsoon. It was great to play again, and it is especially fun because the coach I am playing with knows almost no English at all, which allows me to practice even more Spanish, and to practice describing things in Spanish for words that I don't know. Wednesday night was also a treat because we went to our friend Pablo's house where we watched Real Madrid play in the round of 16 in the Champions League. They won 3-0, and everyone was cheering at the TV. Once again I was in a household with only Spanish speakers, so I had to figure out a way to say everything I wanted in Spanish without ever slipping in an English word. Great practice.
Time here is passing quite quickly, and the immersion group has really bonded as a whole. I know every single person (all 16) well now, and I have grown much closer to a group of Dawson students that I never talked to much in the past. Along with that, I have made a ton of new friends from many different schools, grades, and classes. It is fun to make new international mates who I can stay in touch with, especially so we can visit each other if we are ever travelling close to each other's home towns.
