I'll do a quick update on everything that's going on here. I arrived in Spain last Sunday and spent the week here before heading to Madrid for the orientation for Inbounds. It was a little more than six hours in bus to Madrid, before getting on another bus to the campamento where we spent the weekend (about an hour and a half outside of the city, in the Guadalarama mountain range). It was an amazing experience to meet and know so many students who are all in the same boat as I am, although I wish there were more international students. With the exception of a few students from Canada, one from Austria, and one from Japan, all the Inbounds in these two districts (2202 and 2203, mine) are American. Because of this, and because many kids still don't have a great handle on Spanish, the whole orientation was held in English. Saturday afternoon we hiked out to an incredible view of el Valle de los Caídos. It was built by Franco, partly using political prisoners, and he is buried there. 
By the end of the weekend, everyone was very "homesick" including me, so it's great to be back home in Sevilla. I've finally gotten comfortable here, with my bed, my family, our food, and our neighborhood. It's still very hot, but starting to get more bearable as the fall comes. I have a presentation tonight at my school, which starts for real tomorrow. My host family has been very busy (both parents are lawyers and my sister has been studying every day for her exámenes) but getting to school should help with getting out more. Also, my sister has her final exam Wednesday so I hope to spend more time with her then. ¡Hasta luego!
