Where's the internet?
Today we officially started orientation with a tour of the City Center of Granada. Whitney, my roommate and I, then walked home (we live about a 20 minute walk from the program site). On the way home we bought some postcards to send home to people. While we were writing them Isabel, our senora, made lunch. We had pasta with ham, bread, and cheese; there is always so much food at lunch! It is their biggest meal of the day. We ate at about 1pm, which is pretty early, lunch is usually between 2-2:30pm. We left the apartment at 2 to walk back to the school for our 2:30 meeting, where we were given our student handbook. At 4 we took a test; ugh! I was very tired at this point; probably from jet lag and lack of a siesta today. This test is to place us in the appropriate level for the orientation groups/classes; then at the end of orientation we take another test for placement into classes for the rest of the semester. Our home does not have internet, which is frustrating, I'm realizing how dependent I have become on my email, facebook, etc. But last night Whitney and I found an internet place that has computers and WiFi for about a Euro an hour. Hopefully we will get usernames and passwords at the school soon so we can get free internet there. I don't have to be back at school until 2:30 tomorrow, so I'm going to try to mail some letters at the post office, look into some of the gyms around here, and maybe do some shopping before then. Tonight we're going out for tapas!
