AULA Day Four: Mucho Mejor

In the first five minutes of today’s fair I got a serious grad inquiry. Yee-haw. The rest of the day was steady, though there were not nearly as many people overall (gracias a Dios). “They” were right. Now that it is Saturday, the serious students have shown up, many with their parents. One in fact is a return from yesterday, this time bringing Dad to have a talk with me. I wow him pretty good. If this girl is not enrolled at my school Fall of 2006, I will publicly flagellate myself in the middle of Main Street.

After the fair I try for my mini-bar refills again. I take the Metro from the convention center to the next stop towards town. Here is where I was instructed there was the biggest super-market to be found, La Gran Via. I have one small victory to report. I found the mini-Kit-Kat, and yes, a bought a bag of them just to get one to put in the mini-bar. I could not leave empty handed. My eye was also drawn by some Guinness and potato chips. I shall now enjoy them and watch True Lies en espanol (I can never get the damn ~ to work over an “n”).

By the way: that reminds me, one of the reasons Spain is behind in English is that it has a very robust and protected dubbing industry. Nothing on TV, other that live international news (BBC, CNN, FOX) is in English. No chance to learn, or supplement learning, through subtitles.
