.so. i've been here for nearly a week now. well. that's a lie. sorta like, 6 days. you could say. i guess.
.regardless, i've been either uber busy and had no time to write, or, when i did have time, i spent it sleeping or skype-ing with cooper. honesty's the best policy, right? what's the point in lying to yall about my daily happenings?.
.monday- orientation day one. realized i knew a hellofalot more people here than i thought. got up super early to get to the metro station on time. nena took us, and two more girls from our building. we all rode the metro together. luckily, we live only a block away from the metro stop. "puerta del angel" is what it's called. furthermore, we live on the same line as the school stop. so i just hop on the gray line (#6) ride it for 20 minutes (or so)... and 6 stops away, at "guzman el bueno" is our school exit where we have to walk another block and a half to get to campus. yeeehaw. after we got to campus, we sort of went around all day. got a campus tour. all that jazz. not too exciting, since campus consists of a two block radius. there's only 650 kids studying there, so we all have class in two buildings. the common area is super small, about the size of... like, the ABP outside area. so's the lounge and the cafeteria. the caf is smaller than fusz. hard to imagine, i'm sure. but true. after the tour, my group went to the place miguel cervantes was born. alcala de henares. it was so boring. we got back to campus an hour late. after not guesstimating my time correctly, i had to take a taxi back to my house since it was super dark out and i didn't wanna ride the metro alone. then i talked to cooper for a while. had dinner. then we all went out to the cave bar. drank sangria. first legal drink of my life. yay. met boris, and the other UF kids. then came home for beddybye.
.tues- second day of orientation. another campus tour. explanations of rules and stuff. a fun little "oh em gee, johnny!"-esque skit. anddddddddd... then a madrid tour. yay? after that, i came back home and talked to cooper for a very. very. long time. i was super sick, my voice was nonexistant... and i didn't feel well so i didn't go out with everyone to mahoney's. instead, i had boyfran time, and it was probably one of the best decisions ever. hooray.
.wednesday- class started. sylv and i have class at the same time each day. it's bomb, i never have to ride the metro to class alone! yayyyy! i've been reading "watchmen" on the ride to school daily, and people give me funny looks. it's a graphic novel, okay?! ha. anyway, archaeology was sorta a letdown. theology will be interesting. kids from like, 6 diff countries in my class. oceanography is gonna be a.w.e.s.o.m.e. i'm so looking forward to it. then i came home. laid around. had dinner. which, by the way, is varied nightly, consists of 4 courses and makes me feel like snorlax for about 4 hours after consuming it. fyi. thennnn... erm... laid around more. stayed in that night, cuz we had class in the morn. and were feeling layzee. mmm. hmmm.

.thurs- yesterday! got my abono. went to IB class. which will be... meh. i think. the teacher is sorta scatterbrained. but whatever, to each their own. then i went to lunch with sylv and co. then came home and slept for like 4 hours. then, had dinner way later. thennnnn... went out! to a discoteca. "supersonic" emily knew the owner. britpop bar. fun, but it was sorta depressing seeing people dancing and laughing and mackin and knowing the only person i wanna be with is thousands of miles away. thank god for text messages. but yeah. fun shtuff.
.today, i slept in. i'm going to el sol shopping with sylv and emily now. so, adios! more later!.
