1st Day of Classes!

I almost saw the sun rise for the first time since I've been here.. I set my alarm for 8am and actually got up.. I impressed myself. After much persuasion by Michi.. I decided to go to Econ taught in Spanish at 10am even though I dont need to take the course for BC or anything. It seems like it will be an interesting course although the teacher is all over the place it seems, but he is definitely understandable and speaks slow enough to understand.. that is.. other than the Econ vocab that I don't really know yet. I'll give it another shot on Friday and see how it goes. That would be my 5th and final class and my other options are slim. I had a few hours free after that and so I ate lunch and failed to get myself a TACO discount card or a gym membership after waiting in line for an hour because I dont have a credit or a debit card.. they dont take cash. BUT good news! The police found my wallet after someone turned it in and they sent it over to my campus for Carlos III and I'm going to go pick it up tomorrow.. I hope there is money in it!
My next class was Spanish Language (Avanzado Alto C) and it was great. I think I'm going to really like the class and it is easy enough to understand and the teacher is great. I think that I'm at the correct level also, but we'll see. Lastly, I had Spanish Literature. The class could not have been more boring. She was a terrible teacher. At first for the first hour I didn't know what to think. It was hard to get a read on her or the class but for the second hour.. all we did was read this 11 page story that NO ONE could understand because of all the ridiculous vocabulary in it. No way am I taking that class. I just zoned out for almost all of it. Stupid waste of time. I was only testing the class out to see if I like it. I have to choose between 3 different literature classes and I decided to go with Cuentos. Seems the most interesting and is supposedly the easiest. After class I wanted to go to the gym to workout but I ran into my erasmus friends who were playing volleyball behind the gym and I decided to join them instead. Tomorrow we will be going swimming at a friend's place near campus at 4 and then I think I'll stay there until later when we go out for Karaoke later in Madrid. It should be a good time.
After getting back I talked with Eugenia and her daughter and played with her grand daughter. At first her grand daughter was afraid of me and started crying, but then she started to take to me and got along quite well after I played with her a little and do all those stupid things babies like so much. After they all left I talked with Eugenia about the street talk that I had been learning and she taught me a few things.. quite crude humor but we were laughing very hard about it all on her porch which overhangs the courtyard behind her house. Dinner was fantastic.. genial i should say because I just learned that word today. I don't know what they were called or how to describe them.. i normally leave that up to Jess anyways.. she knows her food.. but it was some soup and a very rich fish dish.. superb. Then topped it off with a little Strawberry swirl frozen yogurt. Now it's time to hit the sack.. it's going to be a long day tomorrow and I'll need to have a lot of energy for it..I think it's time to try a little cafe again..
