2 in one day!

WOOOT!! I just found a wireless connection in my room!

Today, I woke up at 8.. hit snooze, and then wake up to my roommate, Jackie, knocking and calling my name at 10:00. haha. syndrome of jet-lag?? probably, because it's 1am here, and i'm super awake.. also due to being so excited about having internet access in my room, i'm sure.

Jackie and I went out this morning and found a shopping center where I was able to buy necessities such as shampoo, towels, and an adaptor. . but it turns out that the adaptor doesn't work for anything i have! my battery charger: the prongs aren't long enough to go into the adaptor because it (the adaptor) has a big rim around it my laptop: the adaptor doesn't have a third hole for the third prong on the laptop plug my straightener: the adaptor doesn't have one small hole and one longer hole.. probably because of the voltage difference.

Soooo that's it. }:( grrr. but the right adaptors have to exist because other students have used their laptops here.. so don't lose hope for me guys!! : ) oh, i'm on my laptop now because i'm borrowing my roommate's adaptor incase you were wondering.

Other than shopping, i had another meeting today at the school where they taught us about how we're going to sign up for classes... and some US embassy people came and scared us about all the danger around every corner.. psht. We tried to eat lunch at the school cafeteria, but they didn't have anything.. nonsweet! Well there was the ham, cheese and tomato sub, but the ham is WEIRD and really not yummy (like the ham at dani's, erin.. sorry dani) so for lunch, I had a piece of bread and water.. AWESOME... Supper made by my host parents (at 9:30... ) was great though!

Jackie (the other student in my house) and i tried to go out tonight, not to do anything crazy, just go sit at a place and have a drink... but the metros stop running at 1am.. so how would we get back? we think there're buses, but we don't know about them yet really.. and we could take a cab, but they're expensive.. .so we decided to just go and get back before one, but we didn't know where to go.. so we took a while to leave.. then we couldn't find a place that had more than like..3 old people in it. so we finally decided to go to this little one by our house in order to get back in time, but it was closed.. haha.. YAY MADRID! :) we didn't go to the center of the city because of the time limit, so i'm sure there will be much more alive, even on a tuesday night.

it doesn't feel like i'm really immersed in spain yet.. because although Jackie and i try to speak spanish to eachother throughout the day... our orientation meetings are all in english so they make sure we understand everything.. that we just end up reverting back to english saying, "just for the first couple days...". It will definitely change, though, so i'm not worried.

ok. i keep getting kicked off the internet.. bye!
