Anyway...starting with the airport. We ended up going to the wrong terminal at first but then finally getting to the right one. somehow my bag wasn't over weight...which i don't think was possible...but that was lucky. when i got to security i forgot to take off my shoes and didn't take my laptop out of my backpack so i got in trouble before i even got here. When i got to the gate i waited for about 20 minutes to start boarding. There was a man sitting next to me taking pictures of himself and all i kept thinking was "please dont let me be sitting next to him on the flight" and guesssssss what....i was. He is from barcelona and started speaking to me in spanish and i could somewhat understand but when it came to answering i drew a blank and just started saying I DONT KNOW I DONT KNOW. embarrassing. not to mention i couldnt figure out how to pull my tv up so he had to reach over me and help me. i watched whats your number. it was good i actually loled a few times which was embarrassing. the other man sitting on the other side of me smelled a little funky and when i decided to sleep a little so did he...except he decided he was using both seats. i tried to make it clear that he was bothering me by how he was sitting but he didnt get it so i was squished in a ball. none the less the flight was not horrible. once we got to london we got right on the flight to barcelona except we had to take a bus and we got to walk on the plane like how celebrities do. I ended up having my own row which was a nice change from my previous flight. Once we got to Barcelona I went down to baggage claim and I was lost. I saw a girl and a guy who seemed just as lost and I talked to them and they are both in my program so we worked together to find our bags (which didn't get lost!!!!) and find the CEA people. they actually were right there when you got out of the terminal which was great. I took a cab with one other boy who happens to know people from my town. When i got to my apartment there was a man waiting outside to show me in. The elevators are very small. He asked me to try to use my key to get into the apartment and surprise surprise it didn't work when i tried. One other roommate was here, Corey. The man showed me a few maps and said he would be back later to show us around and drop off the other roommates. Of course once he left i realized he took my key but don't worry he came back and i got it. Surprisingly there are no other CEA students in this building, but there's another group of girls in an apartment a block over. Our apartment has a nice big living room 4 bedrooms (all very different) and two bathrooms. we also have a balcony(which is accessible unlike the london girls) a kitchen and a washing machine, and don't forget the window-like hole in the wall to hang your clothes to dry! So all i have done so far is unpacked and now I'm sitting in my bed waiting for the rest of the roommates to come. Im physically exhausted but I don't want to go to sleep. Also, it still doesn't feel like im here. I will post pictures soon!
Adios!
Heres some pictures of our apartment:
