Wifi Fail

Tuesday my morning class was cancelled, so instead of sleeping in to take advantage of no 8am class, I got up and went to work on the business plan that's ruining my life. Its a minimum 50 page business plan, that's due a week earlier than I thought. So---- it has become my life this week. Anyways, on Tuesday I went to Starbucks to be extra productive.... and was with the 45 minute sessions of wifi that come with every purchase. (I don't even want to know how much money Ive invested into Starbucks by now.) When I got back from class, I opened up my laptop ready for another marathon business plan writting-sesh to find my internet wasn't working. Oh well- a good excuse to skip out on work and go out to dinner. Wednesday I normally only have a class at 4, but coincidently it was also cancelled, so I had ALL DAY to devote to this project. I made plans with friends to meet in my fav cafe which has FREE wifi (a huge rarity here) and DELICIOUS smoothies. We arrived only to find a paper sign on the door saying they were closed. Since the internet in the apartment still was broken, I had no choice but to study in a cafe with internet (50 pages in Spanish=wordreference.com=internet). So, we went to Starbucks once again to live on the 45 min sessions. I got home last night, excited to finally have internet!!! Then this morning, I had a group project- which meant.... cafe time once again. A friend knew of another cafe which has free wifi! I couldnt beleive I hadn't found it first, especially not before the wifi fisaco yesterday. So, this morning, I get to the undiscovered wifi cafe early to work before the group comes. I order and then ask if I need a code to access the internet. "Theres wifi from 4:30pm til close" WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT. Strike 3,340,203. I DO have one more place to try on my list- the huge department stores, El Corte Ingles, apparently have wifi in their cafes, but Im afraid of the disappointment...

On a happier note: Im hunting down American food for my Spanish friends as a "cultural experience". This means bagels tomorrow with Esmeralda and cupcakes on Saturday with Ana. YES! btw- Im blaming this all on last week's peanut butter downfall. I havent left completely, we are also being Spanishy: going to see Goya's tomb tomorrow morning and tomorrow night to a concert, its a guitarist from Cadiz, Carlos Chaouen.
