Swim Practice & Schedule

The week before I left for Madrid & Spain I went to the University of Granada Campus and found the swim coach in the Sports Office. I told him that I swam at my college in Texas and was wondering if there was a team I could practice with while I am in Granada. He said that I was more than welcome to come and practice with his club team when I returned from my travels. Yesterday was the first day that I swam with them; it was five guys and me. It has been a month since I last swam, at the Austin College invite, so I knew it would be slightly difficult for me. I forgot to take into consideration that only the US swims in yards and this pool was a 50 Meter pool! By the end of three months I am going to have crazy good endurance! The work out was about 2 hours long, which is about what I am use to, and pretty difficult, but still good. I am very excited to be working out again every day! Today there were TONS more people at practice, over 30, and the majority of them are girls. Apparently there are two sessions on Mon/Wed/Fri and the mid-day one that I went to not a lot of people go to.

I also got my class schedule finalized today, the day before classes start! I tried really hard to take the Spanish route and just think "no pasa nada" (no worries). But I am really happy with how it turned out; at first I was going to have class from 5pm-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I do not function well that late in the afternoon! Here is my updated schedule, hopefully it won't change:

Mon/Wed:
11:30am-1:pm Spanish Art (ancient to renassaince)
1:00pm-2:30pm Composition
Tue/Thur:
8:30am-10:00am Spanish Grammar
10:00am-11:30am History of Spain (modern age)
11:30am-1:00pm Islamic Culture in Spain

Yep, I don't have any classes on Fridays! And I will be able to make swim practice every day. They practice M/W/F at 3pm and T/Th at 3:45pm for about two hours. Tomorrow is the first day of school, hopefully it goes well!
