Madrid is great

This is just going to be a very short post whose main message should be positive. I know in the last few posts I was very negative. I was stressed because of not having a flat to live in, then about all the insecurities with the university and also because I did not have Internet at home.
Now all this worked out. I have Internet, thanks to Juan, I am getting used to the comunication style of my flatmate, I did my inscription for university, paid the fee and also got the confirmation from HEI. Today I also handed in my first paper in Spanish, had a presentation in one of the courses and generally feel like things work out.
Now I can dedicate my time again to going out, eating tapas, chatting for hours with Ira and Sarah, working on AIESEC stuff (which can be fun, really, I mean why would I do it otherwise), learning about Real Madrid to be prepared for the next Champions League match which we will hopefully watch in the Bernabeu Stadium, pick topics for my papers, try to speak more Spanish, maybe even do some exercises, right sports wouldn't be too bad, but maybe also cook again this really tasty "Rösti with Zürigeschnetzeltem" as we did last Saturday, get to know the best clubs in town, even better bars, do some shopping (if I have enough money), travel around Spain or at least in the region of Madrid, finish "kite runner" and start "don Quijote", watch "Cheroes" (Heroes but pronounced in Spanish), getting to know more people and places, short, to enjoy life.
Madrid is great.
