Alcala adventures

Today was dramatic to say the least...
I couldn't sleep until 2:30am so I was basically a zombie throughout my first class.
The class in itself was great, it studies American cultural politics through articles written about it.
The professor's Spanish was abysmal, I knew this was to be expected but I didn't think it would be this bad. It was almost impossible to understand him - half of the time he didn't know what words to use.

Thankfully we had a guestlecture by an American who kept things comprehensible.

My next class was disappointing, the teacher's English was better but the class was pure chaos. The title "communicational strategies" was not appropriate. The teacher spent two hours explaining the course outline - apparently she did the same thing last week.
She was enthousiastic and passionate but whatever she did get to say about the course content seemed nothing new to me.
If there are other options left I might opt out of this one...

I had lend my house key to Jessica, my housemate and that resulted in me standing in front of the gate for half an hour, pushing the intercom button like a madman with no response.
Until our neighbour was getting suspicious and texted one of my other housemates to say their was a random girl in front of the gate that kept pushing her bell.
Save to say I was near desperation at this point trying to think of ways I could gracefully trespass on my own property.

Before that I'd taken yet another trip, this time to El Corte Ingles, which is pretty much the Belgian Inno but way cooler. This store was gargantuan.
Next to it, the supermarket from my dreams - they had Guylian chocolate.

Yesterday I went to Madrid yet again, this time with my housemate Jessica.
I'm happy to say I've found a potential friend :D
We have SO much in common, and in a weird way, she finishes my sentences and even after a long silence she can suddenly start talking about something that I just happened to be thinking about!

She also recognises my passion for fashion and lets me do my thing - she was a joy to go shopping with!

Also, I'm asleep more than I'm awake, this is getting out of control.
