Matchup for @littlelilbun

Your Haikyuu matchup is...

Tadashi Yamaguchi

-First of all, I think he can really help you out with your anxiety as someone that suffers from it too, Tadashi knows how to deal with it better than most people.

-Ngh, Tadashi loves your hyperfeminine style! It’s just his preference he can’t do anything about it. It’s not like he doesn’t enjoy it when you dress cozy and comfortably, but your other style just sparks something inside him.

-Bunnies you said? He is whipped, half of your collection is funded by him; now you are also his “little bunny” no way Tadashi is gonna use any other pet names.

-6 languages? He is a bit ashamed of only knowing one now…please teach him something! Tadashi always stutters when trying to speak new languages; I swear it is the cutest sight.

-He loves cuddles, but please nothing in public if you don’t want to make him blush from head to toe!

Orientation day and cycling

The thing is dear whoever reading this, that life is not that busy around here, I think I adjusted pretty quickly to this spanish lifestyle of getting up late, going to bed late, and not running after every small thing that should be done asap. This means except the orientation day which was on monday, not much happened so I did not see the point of writing pages about doing basically nothing.

Random observations are coming so watch out. The spanish lifestyle I already told you about also consists not really taking traffic lights seriously (only by car, but sometimes not even with that). Literally nobody’s gonna look at me weird if I cross the road when the lights are red (the thing is, red lights are so freakin long I’m not spanish enough yet to wait that long), nor they will honk if I’m taking my time to pass when I have green light at the crosswalk and they’re turning left/right. Same slow, chill attitude goes when it comes to buying groceries and paying-packing etc. 

About the orientation day. It started at 9 am, which seemed a bit early, and when I got there I thought nobody was gonna be there but a whole bunch of people were lining up already for some registration and getting a piece of paper that I still don’t know what it is good for. I met Oliver, my german friend, he was with an albanian guy who’s name I totally forgot 2 sec after he told me, he seems nice tho, and as a plus, he doesn’t speak any spanish either (and also gonna study political science) which makes me feel a bit less stupid. The faculty of political sciences and sociology (if i’m correct) doesn’t look so fancy from the outside but from the inside it’s much better, nothing very high-tech but definitely better than my faculty at home...(shame). After getting the piece of paper we sat down in a huge lecture hall for some information sessions with the vice dean aaaand the person responsible for international relations including all erasmus stuff. Learned some valuable information regarding credits, non existing language courses, free entry to the Alhambra (big old building, they say it’s kinda famous, looks like it could use some renovation...hope you feel the irony), and a whole lot more. They set up a game for us (for all erasmus students studying at this faculty, there were at least 100 people at this info session), they made groups of 5-6, we had to take a picture together and be creative about how to show what erasmus is all about adding a motto to the picture. I was in a group with french, german, south korean people, I’m not sure if we were the most ingenious ideas but it turned out to be okay (we didn’t win the competition though). 

Some more information sessions followed. Orientation day ended around 2 pm, Oliver and I decided to try to get the so called ‘TUI’ card (student card), but first of all we went to the wrong building to get it, after that we didn’t find the good one, and found out that they take siesta very seriously so it only opens at 4 pm again (nope, it opened at 3 pm, was open till 5) so we decided to go back again later. Went grocery shopping with Oliver, bought some unbelievably green banana (that turned out to be truly inedible), and some other things. We agreed on trying to get the student card later that afternoon, what we managed to accomplish. I found it pretty interesting that while in Hungary it takes a whole month to get my student card, including going into offices filling tons of papers etc, here they asked for my ID, put the number into a tablet, took a picture of me in front of a canvas and that was it. I had to wait about 3 minutes to get my student card. Convinient isn’t it?! We went for a walk in the city center since Oliver had to buy some sheets and I had nothing better to do anyway. We found the shop where he had to buy stuff, but we also saw a Decathlon on the way so we agreed on checking it out later since we’re both huge fans of everything they have there. This is the part where you have to tell me how strong I am, cause I did not buy anything! 

Some fun facts about the ‘TUI’ card, it works as a prepaid credit card, I can put money on it and if I hold it in front of the scanner on the bus it works as a bus ticket (it seems like they’re not familiar with the term ‘monthly student bus pass’ around here, I get discount for single tickets on the bus and that’s all. Shitty..), or I can pay with it at the cafeteria. This all sounds great but as it turned out the card is only valid from today 9/11 (today) and I could not use it on monday so I had to buy a normal ticket.

On monday evening the owner of the flat came to sign some contracts and get the monthly fee, and explain some things. She also brought her dad (I think, not sure) they explained a few things asked if everything is working correctly. All in spanish of course. I don’t know when was the last time I felt so uncivilized. Martin (the french flatmate) was kind enough to translate most things so it all turned out okay. After that we had a nice talk with him and the other flatmate called Yun (yes, she’s asian). They seem really nice, we are gonna have dinner together at some point where everybody will cook something traditional from their country. Good idea, (I came up with it, lol), the only problem is that Yun said chinese food is really hard to make (so she might make spanish then), Martin is not really a chef as he put it, and I pretty much hate everything that’s traditional hungarian food. Whatever, we’ll figure it out, important thing is that they’re up for it. Martin has been trying to get me into going to parties with him, ever since we started talking, he’s so presistent I’ll might go. Okay probably not, but I agreed that I like to have a few drinks and just talk so we might do that at some point, can’t wait, he seems like a cool dude!

The thing is today and also yesterday I did basically nothing (that worth mentioning), besides riding my bike and getting up late , exploring new trails each time. Oh yeah, the reason for this is that classes only start on september 23rd. Until then, I don’t really have much to do besides sightseeing, riding my bike, socializing (being very careful that, you never know..). I actually started working on my master thesis today, I’m kinda proud of myself. Ending this on a high note, tomorrow I might do a bigger ride to a cool trail not so far from Granada and a walking tour in the jewish district of Granada. We’ll see. Life’s good, apart from feeling a bit lonely sometimes I’ve been enjoying my time here. Downloaded Duolingo yesterday, have to boost them non existing spanish skills a bit (Martin said he’s willing to help, which I’m grateful for). For real, I’m done for the day, may upload some pictures too.

That’s all folks!
