Finally it has been two weeks in Spain!

I woke up at like 9, 10, 10:30, and finally got out of bed when it was nearing 12. I ate, showered, and took the dog for a walk... I ate lunch with my Host Mom at like 3.... She told be if I am not going to talk than neither is she.... So, there was a lot of silence today..... I tried to talk, I just could not... Time just kept passing... I finally starting questioning her about certain words and expressions..... Then I asked her about getting a haircut... She told me about a place..but luckly for me, Stefano told me of a Place in San Pedro. I had to call!! I made the appointment for 6:30.... By that time we had to leave in 45 mins.. We went.. My Host Mom left me there... The guy starts talking to me in Spainsh... I PANICED!! I tried speaking Spanish, but he spoke fast! So he asked me if I spoke English, that solved the problem... I went get my hair washed, all was fine and dandy... I went to get my hair styled and they start talking (The guy and the lady who washed my hair).. She asked if I spoke Spanish and he told her NO. Then he tried explaining to me what they said, and I said, Oh I understood, I can speak Spanish, I am just really nervous.. Finally it was time to pay... It was 9 Euros... I asked the guy, what is a normal tip? He said some people leave nothing, some leave half a Euro, 1 or 2 Euros, but you do not have to. So, I left 2 Euros! Oh, by the way the guy told me that I have really good hair, but I hear that all the time so it was not a big deal haha. I went outside to wait, the guy saw me and told me to come in, so I did.. I have to say he gave me the best haircut ever... Sorry Sue he beat you... Then my Host Mom showed me where I would catch the school bus in the Morning and such.. where to walk, what way, blah, blah, blah.... Stopped at the pharmacy.... Home.... The neighbor came over and informed us of the time school will be starting.... At 2 p.m., it is more of informative day, not too much work.. Then we ate, just the 3 of us... More relaxing... Off to bed, only alittle after 11....
