I have arrived in Salamanca and, it's a little chilly here, only 60F; quite a change from the sauna that is Sevilla. It's September, I wear pants and a long sleeve shirt everyday. Probably not too different than Colorado weather. This school's really great. I've learned more in two days of classes here than I did in three weeks of classes in Sevilla. The subjunctive tense, in some cases, is beginning to make sense. All the students here are excited about speaking and learning Spanish and nobody wants to speak English. After classes yesterday I sat down with 5 other students and we spoke Spanish for two hours. My host family here is pretty nice, she is making the most of hosting students; that is she has made her three bedroom apartment into housing for six students and converted a closet into a room for me. She's nice and helps me with my conversational Spanish.
In my excitement at speaking all this Spanish I decided to re-pickup Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal. I have a rough idea of what's going on. And that is, the nacent stages of a vicious love triangle between Hermione, Ron, and Harry.
Here's my prediction, only being in part 3 of the series: Ron's going to fall for Hermione. Hermione' s going to fall for Harry. Harry's going to be busy staring at the scar on his forehead and discovering that he can talk to snakes and various other animals. Ron's going to be pissed (probably well into the "friend zone" by this time), Hermione's going to be frustrated, Harry's going to continue talking about Quidditch and Voldemort until their senior year. Then Ginny Weasley's going to start at the school they go to. As the naive freshman, she's going to get into some kind of trouble. Harry will save her by destroying Voldemort for the fifth or sixth time, and in the heat of the moment hook up with Ginny. Then, because Ron and Hermione are always there as well, Ron will confess his love, Hermione will say she had no idea, and then they'll hook up. Then J.K. Rowling will try and continue the series in much the same fashion as 90210 and Saved by the Bell and send them all, by pure coincidence, to the same university of wizardry where their adventures of becoming an adult will begin. Interest will have faded in the series by this time, so JK Rowling will have to reduce the content to the most basal concepts just to keep people's attention. Harry will try and keep the long distance relationship with Ginny, but will hook up with Hermione one night after drinking too much witch's brew. Then he'll break up with Ginny, hook up with Hermione for a while, and eventually realize that he's actually in love with Voldemort. Like all women in these series, Hermione will become addicted to drugs and eventually become a stripper. Ron will hang out with another crowd and eventually become a great wizard.
Well, that' s my theory. those of you are on book 8 or 9 can tell me whether I'm way off or not. I had some other things to mention but they involved photos and I don't have aUSB port on this computer so, unfortunately, this will be a entry without color. Bueno, me voy. Will
I spent the weekend in these cities in the mountains. They were incredible, the people were muy simpatico y siempre querian hablar. Es posible voy a volver este fin de por que hay muchos pueblos en este zona todavia no he visitado. Si yo fuera empezar una vida como un granjero problamente estaría aqui. En los dos dias pasaba aqui saqué 150 fotos. Estes solos son unos pocos. En Domingo caminé 30 kilometres y visité 5 pueblos. Cada vez paré en el solo bar en la ciudad para un cerveza y para hablar con los locales. Cuando fui alli no ví ninguna turista.
