So! I have arrived in Madrid. I´m still in a weird jet-lag phase because of that extra day in Washington and my inability to sleep on the red-eye to Frankfurt. But I made more buds, as can be expected (or, not expected, but hoped for!).
I´m making progress here, albeit slowly. On my list of "Now that you´re aqui, you must:" list, I have:
- Get a phone
- Get an apartment (easier said than done!)
- Get a bank account
- Visit my school
Given that it´s Saturday, and that either my phone´s alarm clock doesn´t work anymore or I´m just so out of work mode that I don´t work with it anymore, there was not a whole lot of time/opportunities today to GET THINGS DONE. But I did get a phone (or rather, a new sim card for my ancient iPhone 3G; 3.50 euros a week for internet--take that, AT&T)! And I met up with Ludo to do his "Bars of Madrid" Tour, which changes every time you take it. I met Americans, English, French, and a whole lot of Spanish (bars). It´s been a good day so far. And I swear I´ll start looking for apartments tomorrow!
