... yes, I said it!
I guess that makes me officially a geek.
But it's true, going to university here is just so much fun. Our school is like a miniature universe in the middle of this crazy, loud, and turbulent city of Madrid.
I have been here since September and it immediately felt like home. Our orientation workshop in Asturias helped to quickly get to know each and every one of my fellow students, who were just as curious and excited for the semester as I was. We stayed in cabins in groups of 5 or 6, had endless bus rides, countless tours, lots of food, and quite a few funny evenings in the town's bar. We even appeared in the local newspaper...(or so they say. I personally never saw the article, and neither did any of my friends here. But it would be pretty cool!). So you can imagine, when we all met again in Madrid for our fist day of classes we only saw familiar faces which just made it all much easier. Everything was alredy set up: rumors, skandals, couples, break-ups, roommates, surfers, clowns, smokers, nonsmokers. Alright, the semester could start!
I really enjoyed all of my classes and was motivated to work for them. Freshmen Seminar, English, Intercultural Communication (something we are faced here on a daily basis), and Finite Math. I learned things I have never heard of before and became familiar with my new environment and its history: Spain.
So, the first semester was a great success. The second one just started and it surely will be just as much fun...
