Sorry I haven't gotten the chance to post for a while. The schedules are different here. We have class 9-1 (which is hard for me since my classes started at 11 last semester) and lunch at 2:30, or 14:30 as military time is used here. There is a lot of time between, but I don't seem to get too hungry and sometimes we pick up a snack/dessert on the way home from one of 20 bakeries we've seen. Then there is the scheduled siesta (nap). And I mean scheduled. All of the stores close from about 2-5 in the middle of the day which has been really interesting to me. Then dinner is around 8:30 and then people often go out for tapas which are like hors d' oeurves that come free when you buy a drink. Sobremesa is also common after meals where everyone literally stays at the table and talks for a few hours. Also, people seem to go to bed much later, resulting in later morning alarms.
That's just a little bit about my life here. I will be posting again very soon and much more often. Thanks for reading!
