Arrived
So I arrived in Spain this morning at 10am, almost a full 24 hours after I left my house for the airport. In Germany, I was asked twice if I spoke German in German, which i thought was a compliment. I am mostly moved into my dorm which is very small with like no storage compared to AU (but really that is how most dorms are compared to AU). My roommate is really nice, her name is Laura and she is 18 years old. She and most of her friends speak little if any english which is just fine by me. They are all really nice and patient with my spanish. The downside they all smoke, even in the room, so I will pretty much smell like I smoke even though I don´t...ohh well i guess just the first of many cultural differences. One of Laura´s friends, Ana, her roommate watches Gossip Girl which is just sooo werid to me (and she isn´t american). I went with Laura and a bunch of her friends to a cafe this afternoon which was interesting, i def. did not follow half the conversations they were having with each other, but when they would talk to me, like i said they were very patient. Apparently, tonight is one of the guys birthday so on the way back to the dorm they bought like a shit ton of booze and then got it in through a window. I´m not exactly sure why they had to do this, but it was def interesting and made me think of AU and our dry campus hehe. Well tomorrow I start orientation at 10:45am. We are going to the University so hopefully, I will be signing up for my classes and will be a bit more informed about how this whole semester is going to work.
