What Was Your First Period Like Brown

Another day, another entry

If yes else but still pretty long.

On Wednesday, I wanted to actually open an account first, but I could not quite decide which bank (I have here two very close) and also the queues were quite long. So I'm back again to the apartment and got there a mail with the opening times of the International Office. 10-13h, na as I go! Posted going on. So went back to Tranvía and La Trinidad. This time, the office also, and I am registered as an international student. Although again I had to fix to a photo shop, and I had no photo of it, but fortunately there was a few blocks away the same and so was not a problem. Since I have the necessary certificate for Enrolling had, I am again to the university where I got just before closing time just to get the enrollment form and a number waiting for the next day. The Spaniards are always totally numbers on waiting. At the meat counter at the supermarket, the bank or the International Office. You have to draw a waiting number. If it makes for schee. ;)
are in the vestibule of the library's a vending machine, which I find very cool. Because plums out the bottle not only easy, no, she is transported via arm and two outside flaps. I had to shoot straight times. * G *



Is not that great, because at the end as the lights go on? * G * (Yes, sometimes I'm too easily amused.) Also costs the most chilled mineral water 0.5 it only 55 cents. Fits.

was on the way back then - again - to the mall. This time I I got a prepaid card for mobile phones. The number's are in demand by SutdiVZ or with me.
Since the day I used to not have made so many pictures (or have burned up some schmählicherweise already in the review of Tuesday;)), today's optical Keep the fun for a panoramic photo I received on the way from university to the shopping center have.



evening I did have the room a bit (eg one of the already overdone photos) decorated. So overall a very productive day.

Today I am again the same morning to the university. I had some problems with the registration form. At our office, I then asked if I as maybe someone could help with and I fortunately got also a very nice lady. After a mishmash of English and English, she read on the already completed part of my German address form and began to speak German so well with me, I asked her if she was German. But was it not, but probably very happy to use their German times. Although I try to make as much as possible in English (which in itself also is not difficult, as you will not get far with English), but in this case I was quite happy when talking to understand what she says.
for 11h then was called the Welcome Day announced for the Erasmus students. So really what brought But it did not tell the truth, except that I've attached a couple of loose contacts. times come loose 80% of Erasmus students from Germany - However, only to Germans, since - judging by the conversations. Otherwise, there was a bit of information material from the high school sports and the organization that takes care of foreign students (Sprachtandems organizes and assigns mentors and stuff). For eternal Rumgewarte in the much too cold air-conditioned auditorium were then still held some speeches, but also contained not much important information. At least, not what was said in English. About the English speech, the Vice Rector I can not say much because I did not know much have. Before the auditorium there was still a buffet and drinks and that's it for now. On the one hand while almost angry that I have for the stress of an early departure made to me, but I think the "Fun Day" tomorrow, will be worth somewhat more. Because there is a - for free - a day trip to the National Park on Mount Teide, the volcano made. This is determined nice.

This evening, the third roommate has arrived. Also a German and if I can judge so far, very nice. Although it is in itself two weeks here, but much of that time was to do with their friend or vacation in the south.
Oh, and I could this morning for the first time warm . Showering Wuhu!

And further in the text

am the next day I went to Ikea and then first broken and later gene Uni International Office. Here I quickly realized that my plan, me here to buy a used bike is probably not the best. It is so hilly that I reminds me of so many recording from San Francisco feel. Flat country I had not expected but much as I had not thought of. Plays a small example:



And this is in some places even better. :) I need to Ikea min walk as 15th while I walk 15 min. uphill. I've been really sore in the butt. * G *
As in the corner, I live in the houses and really ... hmm ... unkempt look and a lot broke, I was delighted when I met on my walk across the Autopista del Norte on an apparently new road with a tram station, which made me imagine myself in a modern time.



The tram here before I find cool. It is only this one line that was completed last year. In the tram itself there's free wi-fi, so W-Lan. I've not tried, but it will - still do - just on principle. The public transport are also relatively cheap. A single ticket costs € 1.30, with a trading card and 90 cents with the trading card for students even just 70Cent. A station is further
the main campus of the Universidad de La Laguna. This is because the Institute of Philology, running on the my courses.



this way, the proof that the title of my blog "studying under the palm trees" is not exaggerated. This is another corner of the campus.



After a short campus tour I went for the first time in the Tranvía (the tram) increased and the terminus of La Trinidad down because there is the International Relations Office. I have not found too, but it did not have to. So I walked a bit through the streets. And enjoy this corner of the city, I also really good. It is the historical Center, with many pretty houses, squares and churches. On Tuesday, also finds a guided tour of the exchange students. Since then I show some pictures. But what I found funny is that the streets are swept with palm fronds. Even a photo from the hip, because I wanted to be not so obvious tourist. ;)



Oh, and what I found amazing, two murals were close to the historic city core. The first is still under Graffiti, but it is really cool, I think. The second is like a work of art.





After that, I'm actually only a small Schwenker over Ikea went home. But I do not even get the drivers of you to tears? ;)

Creative Head Hunters Pittsburgh

breitengrad28 @ 2008-09-10T23: 33 : 00

Not that I do not have enough else would have, but I read here now just what. Sun I no longer come after.
we begin, then the beginning.
After I dragged two days of my belongings in the basement and figuring out the right knee was hit completely blue, I had my house on Sunday delivered to my Finnish interim tenant. A big thank you goes out to dear Antje here, without whose help I would certainly spontaneous until late evening to rumwerkeln. The last night I had then with my parents and spent the next morning went off at 7:30 Gen airport. We had already in advance whether a mystery to the size and weight of my monster travel bag, whether it fits. The weight stood at check-in at 30.1 kg as everything is exactly as calculated, the comment of the switches Dame "The bag is too long." was then but for now my heart slide into my mouth. Fortunately, however, was far less dramatic than feared, and I had to bring the bag only to the oversize baggage, as they in the normal transport volume would simply take snag. So, again lucky.
at Tegel was min's almost 20th Delay going on because so many aircraft on approach were that we had quite a long wait on the tarmac. Because of the low cost I have always thought that they would save on the service, I was amazed when served a breakfast and a movie was shown. Later there was even crackers. :) The stop on Fuerteventura was really just a stop, allowing all passengers to Tenerife stay in the aircraft. No running from Terminal A to Terminal B. Fine fine. And the delay was brought out again. And then I could throw him the first look at my home for the next 5 months:



My local roommate took me kindly picked up by car from the airport. After my things unloaded were, we are still shopping gone. I had indeed found it nice if it would be useful perhaps a bit more fell by the things I can do here, rather than to expand her wardrobe. But well, you really do not rumnölen of Matches on the first day. And I knew at least schonmal where the closest shops are and I have also made a first, very important discovery: the cinema!



María has passed the evening to a friend and I took the opportunity to walk again in peace in the supermarket and to explore the streets a bit. Long but I was not traveling, because it's got dark and then I explore it would rather do in daylight.
By the way, the view from the balcony of the apartment. Yes, even if it's not really recognize that behind Mercadona (the supermarket) pre-flashes blue is the ocean.



with the apartment and my room, I must, however, are still green. While it was already by the photos I had seen clearly that there is no Ritz Carlton, but I must admit that I was surpised negative. Especially the bathroom is not in good condition and has so its quirks. My room is small and furnished with pretty ugly furniture. Here I try grad, with decoration rauszuholen even a little. Time a before / after comparison.




though I give more on room beautification, as I wanted, but here I think it usually does not even 5 months. As I leave the dear cost me a little.

How Often To Get New Track Spikes

clear

The outlets work but without an adapter and Schleppi depends on the needle ... uh ... the cord. Since I was probably a bit overcautious. "Hmm, looks different, has to be something else." or so. * G *
But the sparks from an electrical outlet in the bathroom was not encouraging. I felt very brave to start the machine a second attempt. ;)
Anyway ... The first day is over, tomorrow is get it for decoration material, and perhaps then I'll tell a bit of bulky luggage and visual field (no, I did not go in the migraine patients).

Hasta mañana!
