Lost

Lost is the word of the day.

First of all, I feel lost because I am in Barcelona. I keep trying to be adventurous and wander the streets finding places, only to get lost and have to take a 3 minute cab ride to my place.

Secondly, I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that today was Wednesday. I left my parents on Tuesday, and got to Barcelona on Wednesday. Peter and I are so beyond confused becuase we have skipped over so many time zones. It feels like just this morning I was saying bye to everyone, when really that was yesterday. SO FREAKY! So that's why the word of the day is also lost....like the show. I feel like that violet light hit the sky and I am transported into the future....seven hours later.

Anyway, all is well here in Barca. Lou and I are all snuggled in bed. Not much happened today besides flying. We had 3 different flights, Louis peed in his carrier even though I took him outside in Paris to pee, Pete and I slept almost the entire duration of all 3 flights, and then we finally got here.

I worked my toosh off to get all this documentation done for Louis to come to Spain on time. Jokes on me....he didn't even need it. Oh well.

Things are confusing here. This city is wayyyyy bigger than I gave it credit for. I feel like I'm in NYC walking up and down the streets, except everyone is speaking Spanish.

My room is absolutely lovely! I feel so safe here. I am all unpacked and Lou and I are really enjoying the room. It even has a balcony onto the street! How cool is that?!

So far I have met some really nice people. A lot of students actaully haven't arrived yet because there was so much snow in Paris and London that flights got cancelled...we were lucky.

My biggest pet peeve so far is not the language barrier (being the loser I am, I love it), but these freekin converters are impossible. I am still trying to understand them.

Tomorrow, I have orientation ALL. DAY. LONG. Boooooo. But after that, I am free to play and apartment hunt all weekend.

Hasta la proxima!

Besos,
Bopeep
