Spain My Heart

This morning we had our placement exam, part written, part oral, bla bla bla. We´ll see how it went this Friday. Registration isn´t until tomorrow, so we just had a little tour around the campus of Universidad Carlos III, courtesy of Ramiro. We had lunch at a little sandwich shop nearby, apparently a student favorite. After that, we were done for the day, so we began our journey back to Madrid.

First Day at School

And a journey it was. Getafe, the suburb where the university is, sits about an hour away from my apartment by metro, train, and bus. That´ll be fun for my 9am classes.

Not much else to report today, I´m still pretty wiped out from my trip, so siesta just kind of lasted all day. I was feeling a little homesick, mostly because I didn´t have anything to do, but I had a couple of great chats with Liz, who suggested I go for a walk or call a friend, and Megan, who suggested I rename my blog Zoon in Spoon. I love you both and thanks for your help.

Also a very happy 21st birthday to Miss Clare Mulligan, whose official birthday wishes are posted on Facebook!
