¡Que locura! (What madness!)

As a continuation of the translation class fiasco yesterday...

So I did in fact find the langauge lab, but I along with 2 others girls were waiting there for 30min for a professor to arrive. Finally the girls went to see what they could find out and asked me to stay behind to wait to see if anyone did arrive. Long story short, the class apparently changed rooms on me (I shouldn't be surprised at this point) so me and the other two girls had missed half the class but we caught the second half. Sigh. I did like it a lot though, I think it will be a good class if it makes. 10 people have to register for the class to remain alive, and right now there are 7 people. I am sure this whole random changing rooms thing isn't helping. The others in the class are really amused by my "cute American accent" in English, haha... they are mostly British, but there is one Welsh girl, and one Hungarian.

This morning there was more "fun"... I was supposed to go to my first Law and Cinema class today from 10am till 2pm and watch the Cider House Rules, but once again, madness ensued. I was looking for the "Aula Magna" and I had remembered seeing a sign for it near Paloma's office which is in the faculad of Economics... so I figured I would be okay. Boy was I wrong. Luckily I went to campus about 30min early to give myself some extra time. After wandering around forever to find the Aula Magna (literally, The Big Classroom, it is named literally as such), I found it and it was locked. A guy came around 10am to open the door so I figured it was the normal nothing-starts-on-time thing. I asked him if this was the room for Law an Cinema and he told me no, that there isn't class there today.

I found an information booth in the building and asked them what happened to the class, if it moved or something. The lady told me that I needed to go to the Aula Magna in the facultad of Law. Another building with an identically named room. Seriously. It was about 10:10 at this point, so I figured hey, by Spanish standards I am early right? So I walk over to Facultad of Law, which I am starting to get to know fairly well, and I find the building with the Aula Magna that I needed. I get to the door of the building, and it is locked. I try 4 or 5 other doors to other buildings but all of them are in fact locked. I found a sign (Can you believe it? They posted a SIGN!) that said that today was a holiday for the facultad of law, so that everything would be closed. So yeah, I guess I won't get to join that class until 3 weeks into the semester. Somehow, I am nolonger surprised.

I walked back over to the facultad of Economics and talked to Paloma again, registered for my classes, and she said she would send me an email if I needed to come back to clarify anything. So, back home I went, and here I am.

Merche is going to buy a new computer today at MediaMarkt and a router, so perhaps we can get the wifi working in the house soon. She told me that there is this deal that the government of Asturias is offering for anyone between the ages of 25 and 35 where they will give you a 500 euro rebate or something like that if you buy a computer with internet capabilities because they are trying to encourage students and the upcoming workforce to use the technology more. Since Merche is not in that age range, essentially Becky is going to put her name down in order to get the rebate, haha.

Fito invited me to another party this weekend, a smaller one, and I will probably go just to get to know some more people my age. We shall see.

Well I will leave it there for now, I think I'll take a siesta since I don't have anything else to do today until we go to MediaMarkt.

Adios!
