GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!

Just kidding!

So, today is day one, or maybe if you take into account travel time, day 1 1/2?

The flights went well, super well. I did have a bit of a scare when  I was board the flight from New York to Barcelona. I get in line and when the man scans my ticket it says see attendant. Oh noooo, bad things. But it was good, I was upgraded to Business Class for some mysterious reason. And it was glorious. I had a three course (small though) dinner and a desert option and a glass of red wine. The tv was the best part. HBO, TV series, and pretty much all the good new movie releases; I was tempted to stay awake the whole time just so i could watch more movies for "Free" but I crashed.

The BC contact, Patricia, met me rightoutside the gate and got me into a taxi. EVen then there were no issues, the taxi driver was very nice, and no Dad he didn't jip me. But then I got to the dorm and it started to go downhill. This could be a good thing security wise but all the doors are locked so you have to have a key or know a code to get in, non of which I had.Gradually, I worked my way in when students left. Then I discovered that it was too early for their office hours. A lady in a white outfit that spoke no english appeared, I dont think she was an angel, and gave me my key. After three hours of starving and freezing I was able to get my internet to work. The other issues was the lack of humans and lack of toilet paper, I dont think I have ever held it for so long. And I dont think I have ever loved Dunkin Donuts so mch as when I found those napkins in my purse. 

Final redemtion came when I ran out my door after hearing english, that's when i met my neighbors and found the other BC kids. There are three BC girls right around me and a girl from london, too. The rest of the BC people are on the same florr but in a hallway around the corner. 

My computer served as the communal internet for a few hours since no one else could figure it out. I have to give Jen credit for my knowledge of IP addresses. Then, Finally, I found someone that worked here, and they came to my room as promised, but three hours later. Very nice, maybe a bit distracted. I also finally got my blankets and the heat is working. yayyy, no hypothermia!! 

Also no starving! A supermarket is real close, as in you walkdown the street and turn, and it isn't a long street. So don't worry my usual laziness wont prevent me from eating. So, I made my first grocery store purchase: bread, butter, babyfood applesauce, apples, lemon fanta and toilet paper, for just over 8.50 euro. WHen I was checking out the chashier kept trying to say something to me...... "mummble mummble" "Oh it isn't enought money?" " mummmble mummble" (points at friends) " Ohhh, haha, okay" (awkward laugh)--it was great. 

So now Im settled hoping to figure out how to upload these photos and wait for Patricia to come back and tell us some orientation stuff.
