Today is my first full day in the lovely city of Vic. I love it! This morning I slept until 10 as I was still shattered from my stupid journey the day before. I took my time in sorting myself out this morning as I don't really have much to do in the house. But, I decided that I shouldn't be a bum and I went for a walk around the fields and houses here.
When I arrived back, Maria was home and we made lunch together and ate rather quickly as she needed to get back to school. When she left I received a message from another student here to go and meet up for a drink and get to know each other. She was really nice and she is also looking for somewhere to live in Vic. I spent most of the afternoon with her and I'd like to say we explored the cultural side of the city, embracing the Spanish way of life but instead we sat outside in the 27 degree heat and drank beers. It's a hard life.
When I came back to the house at about 6pm, Maria and I went straight out to her friends to drop off a present. She was very nice too and I'll be seeing her again next weekend apparently when we go on an excursion to the Pyrenees. Afterwards we went to the university to see if there was anybody that had put up posters for room-mates. We found a couple that I'll be attempting to ring tomorrow (wish me luck) and I also found a Spanish friend! (Gold star for me!!) Her name is Alena and we're going to get together to practise her English and my Spanish at some point.
Once we were done at the uni, which is lovely and modern, we rushed across town to the flat viewing that we had lined up. It was a weird place. Jesus crosses everywhere and the mother and daughter were strange to say the least. The flat smelt funny and I don't think they were all there, if you know what I mean. The daughter was 19 but she acted and looked like a 12 year old. We kept asking the woman to speak Spanish but she kept merging back to Catalan. She must have had the attention span of a sieve. It was a good thing to see what kind of thing was out there and the price range but I don't think that was for me. I have decided that I want to live with other students so that I am with other people of the same age and intellect.
Tea was super again but I am shattered again now as I've done a fair bit of Spanish speaking, All in all, today has been a fab day and I already love the city and I'm glad that after only a couple of days I have some people to go out and play with, so to speak.
