How to successfully complete your first day of class at the University of Granada

1. Before your trip, ask a Grandadino/someone who knows anything at all about which bus will take you up to the Campus.

2. Walk 10 minutes to the designated bus stop; arrive with enough time to allow for delays. (An hour before class starts)

3. Wait...and wait...for 15-20 minutes. When no bus arrives, ask a passerby about which buses stop at this station. When she mentions your bus does NOT, proceed up a hill to a bigger bus stop 20 minutes away from home. Begin to get sweaty.

4. Bask in the comfort that there are now dozens of buses passing by at this new station...start to worry when the bus you are looking for is still no where in sight.

5. Ask someone at the station how to get to Campus. Having now been told a different bus, be on the lookout for that new bus.

6. 15 minutes until class starts. Sweating persists. Don't wanna be the newbie American that makes it to class halfway through.

7. At last, the correct bus arrives. Board it, ask another student for the location of the facultad de psicologia stop.

8. Get off at the correct stop with 5 minutes to get to class. Climb up a billion stairs to get into the building, but feel like (super sweaty) Rocky upon arriving.

9. Find the auditorium where class is held, no problem!

10. Read a sign on the door that says "La asignatura de psicopatolgía del adulto comenzará el tres de marzo"...Classes don't start until next week.

11. Have an implosive fit for 15 seconds.

12. Laugh it off. Be happy that you now know how to get to your class. Take your jacket off, put your sunglasses on, and enjoy an hour long (but sweaty) pleasure stroll back home.
