Things to do your first week in Spain:

-find an apartment

-move into said apartment 

(which is easier than it sounds since rooms tend to come furnished here) 

-get to know your roommates a bit

-start exploring the city

-rearrange your room to your liking

-cook some delicious food to have on hand

( granola! And chicken soup. This is especially good to do ASAP,  as an American getting used to lunchtime at 2 or 3 instead of 11 or 12 will be SO HUNGRY. Just fyi.)

-get a bank account 

-visit your new workplace

-get a library card

-grab drinks with new friends 

Feels like a productive week!  Upcoming: teaching and taking language classes, to be taken and taught, getting an NIE, learning the bus system.

(Also: learn the expression eres tan pesada como una vaca en brazos, as well as various kitchen vocab, with your roommates and laugh more then you have in a while.)
