I have just arrived at my hostel in Barcelona! But let’s start at the beginning of the day.
I went to my classes as usual. I didn’t get my grade back in my grammar class, sadly. However, class was fine. In history we moved onto Charles IV which is progress I guess. I’m starting to believe we wont even make it to the contemporary time period. Pacho wore a blue shirt and 2 blue watches, it was one of the first times I’ve seen him repeat a watch. In literature we talked some more about a play Lorca wrote and we learned that we are no longer required to write commentaries (except for the three page paper due in less than a week). In culture class we talked about gypsy weddings and had just started flamenco when I left a little early to go pack.
Lunch was two hot dogs, rice with red sauce, and a fried egg. I packed very quickly and then we walked to the bus stop. The ride to the airport was pretty uneventful except for this child who would not stop making loud noises. I tried to sleep for most of the way.
We arrived at the airport at Terminal 1 and had to take a shuttle to Terminal 4 which we accomplished successfully. We were also able to find the automatic check in and get seats all in a row with almost no help from anyone else. I’m pretty proud! Then we had 3 hours to kill before our plane boarded, we spent the majority of it sitting in McDonald’s.
Our flight was very short, comparable to a flight from SF to LA. However, they didn’t even give us free drinks. If we wanted any we had to pay, even water! We then took a taxi from the airport to the general region of our hostel because the taxi driver didn’t recognize the street name. it cost us 42 euro! Luckily, I picked up a map at the airport so we weren’t completely lost and made it to the hostel okay. I’m staying in an 8 bed room with 4 other people that I know. It’s pretty cool, we all get our own locker so I can protect my stuff. Sweet deal. I’ll let you know all the cool stuff I do tomorrow!
