Wait. Espera. Hold the phone. We have to study on Study Abroad? How am I supposed to study when I’m living in a city that (somehow) runs on laziness and partying?? The biggest distraction in the world is literally just outside the door.
However, we being the Michigan students that we are, obviously studied for our Art History exam. We were making study guides, quizzing each other, and refilling our coffees religiously. We even attempted to make one of the cafes in the Plaza into the Ugli by pushing tables together. Of course, that is not acceptable in Spain like it is at Starbucks (which doesn’t exist in Europe by the way!?) and we consequently were yelled at by the waiters. Great.
What did we do? We went to McDonalds. Yes, I studied for my Art History exam with a statue of Ronald McDonald creepily watching me. It has free wifi though and for some reason it feels like a magic wardrobe I can walk into and pretend I am in America. I don’t pay for food when I use the bathroom or use the Internet. We just walk up stairs and feel at home for a little while. Although I don’t even remember the last time I was in a McDonalds in the United States so to say I feel at home is a bit of a stretch… at least the Spanish rules don’t seem as strict.
As much as I love Salamanca, I really miss being able to use Internet and go pee with out having to pay for something. And when I do pay for something and use the restroom it would be nice if just once there was some toilet paper in there. GAHHHH.
Okay got that out of my system. I really do love it here.
Wish me luck on my test!
