Plaza de España - this thing is around the corner from my house!
Okay, so I've been here since the 16th and this city is like a big small town. Everybody walks everywhere.
Wednesday, I got to my home around 5 AM and just chilled there after the 2 and a half hour train ride from Madrid. My roommate got in around 9 PM and we were both exhausted and went to bed, intending to get up early for orientation the next day.
Thursday, we left our house at 9 AM for a 10 AM orientation, bringing our laptops. Guess what? We got LOST. We wandered around for about an hour and a half asking where school was. And we got in at 10:30. What made it worse? It wasn't even orientation day for us. Hahaha.
Friday, was actual orientation day for us and I finalized out my classes. Also, there was a welcome party for us students at a bar across town. We walked over like a group of 30 girls and one guy (poor guy) and proceeded to drink. It was a free party, two free drinks, so why not, right? And we had some tapas which was yummy. Went home around 2.
Saturday, went around and saw Plaza de España.
Sunday, vegged out.
Monday, started classes with Politics and Intensive Spanish. Pretty chill.
Tuesday, Ethics and Intensive Spanish. Went out for a drink with Megan, Kylie and Catherine.
Wednesday, Politics was cancelled and just had intensive Spanish.
Thursday, ethics and intensive Spanish.
Today, no classes, but I need internet!
Okay, I better go home for lunch (everything shuts down for lunch cos everyone goes home to eat with their families and have siesta!).
Must try to find a way out when everything shuts down in March!
Will be back Monday to write more! :D
