So we had our first week of classes, though I don't think you can really call it the first week since it was only two days! Plus, like at Austin College, the first class is pretty much a syllabus day, overviewing the class and learning people's names. So after next week I will have a better idea of what to expect from these classes. Good news though, I have at least one friend in each class. Most of the students in my classes are Americans in other programs, although I do have a Canadian guy in my Composition class and two Sweedish girls and two girls from Norway in my History of Spain class. All the classes are taught in Spanish, I don't think the professors even know English themselves, but I understood most everything pretty well.

Last night my roommate and I joined a gym, for the days that I don't get to swim. It is actually on our street, so it takes a whole 45 seconds to walk there. It is only 28 Euro a month to use all the free weights, weight machines, and cardio machines. Plus, they have showers in the locker room, which is an addes bonus when you can only shower once a day for about 5 minutes at home! We went there to work out this morning. It is suppose to open at nine in the morning, but we forgot this is Spain and it didn't actually open until about 9:10. The machines are a little older than what I am use to, but they still have the ones I am use to so I was able to do my usual weight routine.
