My Apartment

Here are a couple photographs of where I live in  Madrid.
This is my apartment building. I live on the first floor, back on on the courtyard. 
This is Calle de Galileo, the street in front of my building.
This is at the university. On clear days you can see the mountains from the school. 

Well, with this post I run out of my Internet allowance. I use a USB modem that connects to Vodafone's wireless 3G network. This way I get Internet access anywhere in Spain, but I only signed up for a one gigabyte plan (the next plan up costs almost 100 dollars a month... no thanks). Since I've reached my data quota, for the rest of the month my modem will only connect at 2x dial-up speed. As my connection was spotty to begin with, I suspect that this slower connection will prevent me from doing large uploads like photo albums. Fortunately I can still connect to the school's (relatively) high-speed network, but its hours are limiting. Now I don't know how I'll watch next week's episode of The Office. The next ten days might be trying.
