Well, lots of stuff has been happening lately. I am back in the cafe drinking more chocolate and getting up the energy to write more. Last night we went out for tapas but it wasn't tapas it was only a bar..:( but it was still fun. They played Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer and everyone knew all the words no matter what their native language was, it was interesting to listen to the singing!!
I have enrolled at uni, and, hence the title of this post, I have had to climb mountains and defeat Jedi Knights in the process. Does anyone else remember that cartoon from the beginning of first year? Anyway, it's over now and I have a user name and email and everything, only I don't know them off by heart yet and I don't need them for anything except free wireless at uni (!!!) Yay... SO I am taking a couple of history courses and perhaps a literature course too, I have enrolled in more because I have to be full-time but I'm not gonna go to classes or anything as it's too hard. One of the courses that i would take if I could is Greco-Roman mythology, I went to one lecture and it looked really interesting but the ORI (Int. office) runs a spanish course at the same time.
I also joined the local video store, it was free (they just wanted to see my passport) and it costs maybe 1 or 2 euro to rent a film. Sex and the City in spanish, anyone? Haha...
I am completely exhausted right now because today I have been trying to get internet at my flat. I felt like such an idiot because all I wanted to do was pay for the installation (as we don't have a modem/router/whatever atm) and I ended up having to ask one of the girls who works in the ORI to come to the store and help me because we weren't getting anywhere. They wanted me to give my credit card number over the phone or something and I wasn't prepared to do that, so they told me to go to a bank and get a sort of mini credit card which I couldn't because at that point I wasn't enrolled, and it takes AGES to get ANYTHING done here because people TALK so much and waste so much TIME and ARRRGGHH! The lady in the ORI insisted on explaining to me how to access my webmail at this uni when I already know how to and there were four people waiting behind me. It's insane!
Ok, rant over. I have bought a jacket and bag and some tops and stuff and am feeling very spanish. I thought about trying to get a haircut too but I checked the prices in a shop window and realised that I don't actually know any of the vocab. I could just point to something and see what happens I suppose but I'm not sure I want to do that :P. Dictionary time!
Tomorrow there are no lectures as it's St Thomas Aquinas day or something, but for some reason the shops are open. And next weekend Amanda and I are planning on going to Cordoba for a couple of nights, mostly because it's not in the guide book and is therefore bound to be an interesting time. We'll see! With a student card there's a 50% discount on regional buses...yay...
Hasta luego :)
