Day One
Hello from Spain! My journey has been a success so far; time has flown by so quickly, I can't keep track of it! After landing yesterday morning (3:00 AM Texas time), we were shuttled through Madrid and met up with our señoras (our house moms) and were served a delicious Spanish lunch consisting of eggs, cheese, potatoes and vegetables. After eating and a much needed nap, my roommate, Jordan, and I set out to buy our cellphones at the nearest mall. After an hour and a half of confusion, miscommunication and exploring a foreign "centro de comercial", we became the proud owners of our brand, new flip phones! By this time, around 9:00 PM I believe, we were ready to eat dinner and go to bed. On to day two!
Day Two
Our second day in Madrid commenced with our first trip on the Metro. Thanks to all the rigorous training I received from my dad on previous trips to Europe, Jordan and I had no problems with the foreign subways and we spent the day wandering around our neighborhood and the area around our school. After a low-key afternoon we began classes at 5:00 PM in a small - VERY small - baptist church downtown. Lacking a little bit in classroom space, my Spanish Civilization class met in the kitchen of the church. Not having a desk will certainly be interesting...oh well, it's Spain! After Civ, our Conversation and Composition class met up. Call me nerdy, but I'm super excited about my classes. I know I'm going to learn so much about Spain - both culture and the beautiful language - and I'm. So. Excited. Much more to come!
