A few things I forgot to mention about the first night:
1. We added one more girl to our group on Wednesday night named Julie. So when we went to dinner we were like the Model Un or something. Together we represented Ireland, Liverpool, Chicago, Canada, and Atlanta. Yeah, we’re pretty awesome.
2. When we went out to dinner it was almost 10:00 pm and we didn’t start eating until probably 11:00 at night. And that was completely normal. When we left, it didn’t seem like the restaurant was even thinking about closing. Being the person who hates going to bed, I love that about Spain.
So the past two days have been spent at orientation here in Madrid. There are people from so many different countries here. There are representatives from China, Ireland, England, France, Austria, Australia, Canada and the States of course. It’s so cool to have conversations where there are so many different languages being used. I might have to start working on a new language after Spanish. We’ll see…
Tomorrow (I’m writing this on the 30th but I don’t have internet) we head for our regions, which means Murcia here I come! I’m so excited to get to my city and start working with the niños. I’m going to be split between two schools so it’s going to be interesting. But heading for Murcia also means another dreaded trip in the Metro with all of my bags, third time since Tuesday. It’s definitely more fun when you have a group of people in the same situation as you; plus we got a lot of help the second time around. Hopefully we’ll find some more gentlemen to give us a hand. Next time, adventures in Murcia!
Thanks for reading!
