First full day in Bilbao

1/9/2013

Bilbao, Spain

First full day in Bilbao! Rosa Maria made us breakfast before Melissa and I took off to the university for our placement test. Breakfast was simple; however, she does give us freshly squeezed orange juice… yum! After breakfast, we headed over to the university, which is only about a fifteen-minute walk! I obviously bombed the placement test... I think I understood one questions out of about eighty-five! This was the hardest multiple-choice test of my life. After a long morning at the university and the ISA (the study abroad group I came with) building, we went home for lunch and then had the afternoon free. We decided to use our free time to go shopping at some of the local stores before the after Christmas sales were gone. I surprisingly didn’t end up buying anything (I didn’t buy anything this day, however, we went out the next day and I couldn’t help myself). Melissa and I stayed out for quite a while, but tried to get home relatively early because we didn’t know when dinner would be.  However, when we came home, the apartment was empty. I guess when Rosa Maria tried telling us that she was going out for dinner, it got lost in translation! I feel like that will be happening a lot… haha.
