Week number 3 didn't bring to many new and exciting things. However, since I had just moved into my home stay, getting to class on Monday morning was quite the adventure! Allie and I said we were going to leave at around 8:10am to get to class by 9am. We figured that would have been enough time. Well, 8:10 turned into 8:25. Let's just say we were a little late. Getting to class here is so much different than when I am at Marquette. At Marquette it takes 10 minutes tops to walk anywhere on campus. Here, I have to take the metro for around 10 to 15 minutes and then there is a 15 minute walk on top of that! While at first it seemed annoying, I actually am starting to like it! I enjoy having to actually wake up and function in the morning unlike at Marquette where I roll out of bed and go to class.
We didn't have any class on Wednesday, but instead had our academic meetings. I already knew what classes I have to take so my appointment was easy! At Universidad Complutense, where I am studying, you have the chance to test out all the classes you want for the first two weeks of the semester. Unfortunately since I have such a strict timeline to keep to I won't get to do that. Wednesday night the whole Marquette group, including our director, went out to one of the most popular clubs in Madrid. No, we didn't just randomly decide to go clubbing with Profe. Instead, we were there for an APUNE welcome party. APUNE stands for "Asociación de Programas Universitarios NorteAmericanos en España." So basically it was all the students from all the American programs in Spain together to celebrate the start of the semester. It was a pretty good night! I met a lot of people from different universities who are studying here this semester. It was interesting to compare programs, because no one program is similar to another.
Thursday and Friday were normal with just classes and homework. Just another week in Spain! Time is flying by and I am having so much fun! I love it!
