Ok so after a worrying start to the day (the bus breaking down and a lecturer not turning up) I vowed to plow on with the university in hope that the rest of the day would improve.. No such luck!
After returning after my lunch I went to one class - Historia de España actual (recent history of Spain). This was not so bad as the teacher was aware that there were a lot of erasmus students in the class and was very accommodating.
The second class I attended of Spanish as a foreign language started off well, with a great teacher but once he began to set work online (we cannot access as we can't enroll and don't have student i.d.) he soon realised that having erasmus students in his class was a bad idea. Therefore he recommended we took other modules and basically told us where to go! This puts us Spanish students in an awkward position as we were told by our uni we had to study a Spanish module and it seems that there aren't any for us!
Oh well, onwards and upwards! I went to my next class that I was really looking forward to - historia de las mujeres arabes (history of arabic women).. However, when I arrived the teacher began talking about Italy and I thought - hold on what the hell is going on here! Turns out it was a lesson about the history of Italian art (yawn yawn). I hate art, so imagine listening to someone talking about a subject you don't like in a foreign language for an hour.. Let me tell you, I was dying a slow death!!
Subsequent to this I checked the timetable board to see if I had mistaken the location of my module - but no I had the right class.. It appeared I had walked into the wrong room as it was so unclearly marked!
After the chaos of day one I can't say I am looking forward to tomorrow but let's see how it goes!
The definite highlight of my day was walking home from uni with my friend and watching the sunset. Then going to a Chinese restaurant for a four course meal and a drink for only €6 each! Bargain!!! Loved the vino de verano, was quite strong - just what I needed!
Well it is time for bed now so hasta luego chicos,
un beso!!
