Madrid
Luckily, the plane to Madrid wasn't full, no one sat by me so I stretched out in 3 seats and fell asleep. I hope I didn't snore or anything but I woke up and this girl was staring at me. There was a British guy and his dad in front of me and an American girl in front of them. When we landed she asked them a question and as we walked to the baggage claim, I started talking to her. She was actually pretty cool. And gave me her information so that I could meet up with her over the semester. I had to call the hotel to get the shuttle to come pick me up and the guy talking over the phone at first spoke fast but then slowed down and I was like thank god, because shit is not going to work. I honestly got lost for a little because I couldn't find where the hotel buses were. Stupid signs. But I got there well before the shuttle came. I talked to the guy a little and he asked me if I live in Spain and I told him I'm from the US. And you know small talk, but he was friendly. When we got to the hotel the guy at the desk was super nice too. It wasn't until like 5 hours later that I knew he spoke English. My room is pretty cool though. Simple but I like it. I had to go to the bathroom and was looking for the light switch. I COULDN'T FIND IT!! I grabbed my phone and used it as a flash light and checked each wall to make sure I wasn't crazy. No luck. So I'm like ooh, maybe it's on the outside of the door. And it was, but when I flipped the switch. Nothing happened. I flipped all the other switches that went to lights and nothing happened. I turned on the tv to make sure the electricity worked and it did. I ended up watching half an episode of Castle (in English) and then fell asleep in 1.5 hour increments. The phone went off in the hotel and I jumped cause I was like who the hell is calling. Ended up being my dad. Then I got up and put my pants back on cause I had changed into shorts. And sat in the lobby for awhile. And chatted it up with the front desk dude. Now I'm sitting down in front a flat screen about to go HAM on my hamburger! I haven't eaten in the past 12 hours. Which obviously you guys know, I eat like every 2 or 3 hours. I feel like I'm fasting!!
