Thinking Ahead To Flights Back Home

Hello!

The week just gone wasn't too eventful so I'll fill you in on what's happening tomorrow and my thoughts at the moment. 

This next week promises to be a very interesting one. Tomorrow we will enroll for our classes and find out timetables and when we can leave and such information; but more importantly for me - we will receive a mug with Universitat de Girona on it. It doesn't really bother me what it has on it, just that it will be a nice size to drink tea from because at the moment I'm using a really tiny cup and feel a little too posh using it because I have to stick my little finger out; just because it's really the only way to hold the cup without spilling the tea. 

I'm also looking forward to finding out my timetable so that I know when I can fit people in for tutoring and hopefully have a job to go to also. Then there's the fact that I will be able to book my flight home for Christmas; to spend time with my cousins in London and then eventually meander up to the North-West to spend time with my Dad and then on over to Bangor for New Year and various appointments. Knowing that I have this plan makes me incredibly excited for the next few months because then I also have something more to look forward to. 

I have various friends that are going on their year abroad too but having been here two weeks already I feel like I've been here forever and I'm just waiting for them to be on the same time zone as me. Other friends have also been abroad for about the same time as me and it's nice to know we're having the same quirky issues with kettles and such!

My Best Friends from Bangor were moving into halls today and having the exciting experiences of meeting new people in their building; so I'm excited for them and it makes me feel a bit better that I'm not the only one having new experiences and dealing with new things. 

At the moment by biggest challenge, such as it is, is to find the cheapest way to get to Barcelona airport to be able to go home for Christmas. I've mastered the washing of my clothes in the Spanish washers and driers. It's not just a case of putting money into the machine like back home; you have to give the money in at reception €3 total for the use of the washer and the drier and then you are given two coins - one with a hole and one full coin. I wonder which one you think goes in the washer? Leave me an answer in the comments and I'll give you a shout-out if you're right :)

Tonight I'm mostly writing letters to people and learning a bit of Catalan before the big day tomorrow.

Ciao x

  2. Well you were supposed to guess! Haha, the complete one goes in the washer, and the one with the hole goes into the drier...I don't see any logic...
    Funny (but not really) story about that mug...! :(
