Well Thursday was the last day of classes for the week for all 40 of us nursing students. We were to be at class at 10am for a mandatory nursing meeting. After our meeting we all headed to the cafeteria to get coffee. After some coffee it was time to do some Spanish homework. Lets just say Spanish is not my strong suit. So, after trying to do the homework for 45 minutes, I gave up. I still have the weekend to do it, right? Our next class was Pharmacology, and it started at 12:45. I was dreading an hour and a half class, especially Pharm. Well my view changed when our Professor introduced herself. She was from Ireland. I was pleasantly distracted by her accent the entire lecture. This might take some adjusting. After Pharm we headed off to lunch. We found a great sandwich place. The best part about this restaurant...the
server could speak English! Wow, an English person is hard to come by when you're not on campus. After that, Corinne and I headed back to our apartment. We took a long nap to prepare ourselves for our first night at the discoteca!
After our nap we ate dinner and then got ready for our night out. We headed to Vips, a local grocery store, and bought 2 bottles of wine. Then we headed up to a friends apartment to meet up before heading to Sol. It was a great time. Most of the nursing girls were there as well as some of our guy friends. We ended up going to Joy, another club. It was great! Some of us did have a little too much to drink, but we did all have a blast. It was so much fun, that we didn't end up leaving until around 5 AM. Wow, I've never been out that late. Once we got back home around 6:30, Corinne and I passed out until 2pm. After that, we just chilled the rest of the day. Our first night at the discoteca was a success!
Yesterday we ventured to El Escorial Monasterio for a day trip. It was great. We walked around the monastery and ventured around the gardens. We arrived around at 10 and didn't leave till 4:45. Needless to say we were all exhausted. After taking in the history of the monastery and walking for 5 hours, we were ready to sleep. At 4:30 we boarded the bus. As soon as we pulled out of the parking lot we were all asleep.
Today we ventured to Toledo. It was an absolutely stunning city with 100's of old stone buildings. The city has a coexistence of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures. Toledo is about an hour southwest of Madrid. It is a must see destination in Spain! Next week we will be heading to Salamanca and Segovia.
