Waking up to "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce is awesome. Today we had orientation at Universidad Nebrija. Just like school in the US: participation, papers, exams, and yes, those wretched oral presentations. BUT, our teachers talk reeeeeally fast! And, they made it clear that to yawn or show any signs of being tired is bad mannered and they don't want to see it. (That should be interesting) The man in charge is very passionate about Purdue students and the program. His whole family has been at Purdue for roughly 30 years and has chosen to stick with our program becasuse he loves helping us grow and have great experiences. (We must be extra special or something) I am super excited about the food and culture class Kara and I are taking. I love food, so it's fitting. After the orientation and tour of the University, they served us lunch. Mini salmon sandwiches, cheese, baguette, carne, and chorizo. Oh, and sangria! We were planning to explore the Parque Retiro afterwards, but decided that a nap was necessary so we took the metro back. On the way, I found the greatest thing I have seen yet. A poster of Nadal in the metro. Heaven. I screamed until Kara saw it and we took our picture with him. Next step, see him in real life.(We were so American) After such excitement, it was time for a long nap. Tonight we are exploring the tapas bars. Beer and food=goodness.
