Found the university this morning without problem, but I do
not remember how I arrived, so I will have to figure it out again tomorrow.
Orientation is in Spanish, but most of the students speak English even though
they are from all over Europe. It seems that many people either speak Spanish
very well, or hardly at all, so it is hard to practice. We had a tour of the
university, and a bus tour of the city. Both were fine and I met many people
from all over, having small conversations in Spanish now and then. Though I did
not meet too many of the Americans because they have formed a large group and
seem to mostly keep to themselves. Also it was cold and rainy and I didn’t
really eat anything all day so I am quite hungry. Counting the minutes until la
cena. We have a meeting at a bar later for all of the Erasmus students, so that
should be fun to meet more people.
Later…
Went to bar, spoke lots of Spanish but didn’t really meet
anyone new. Oh well--here's a pic.
don't hang out with the americans :P if you CAN hang out with anyone who will speak spanish with you. it gets frustrating if your eventual friends refuse to speak much spanish outside of class.
