Madrid

Well, here I am again... Still in the same old place. I don´t know if I mentioned I was going to Madrid at the end of the summer and study fashion management at a french school in Madrid called "Mod´art" (in spanish though). 
During the summer I went to Madrid and visit some apartments, the first couple of ones we visited, were h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e. The last apartment we visited was perfect, great views and everything. That same summer, I got a job at Marks & Spencer. One day during work, my sister called and told me that the school in Madrid phoned, but they couldn't get in touch with me so I asked if I could make a phone call to the school. When I was on the phone with the secretary from Mod´art, she told me that there weren't going to be enough people to start the the school year. I think it must have been one of the worst days of my life. 
Now, I´m still working at M&S, I´m pretty happy I can be there. Anyway, if I wouldn't have been there, where the heck would I have been, and doing what?!
The 29th of october I went with a friend to Madrid to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert. We stayed there a couple of more days, and we visited the school, though it was closed because it was Halloween. It was pretty upsetting, because, if nothing of this would have happened I would have been there, and studying what I like. 
On monday the 4th of November, I´m going to Holland because the 9th theres going to be a open day from a school that I´m quite interested in, Amsterdam Fashion Institute. It has three fields, design, management and branding. The one I´m most interested in is management. So I´m looking forward to that day. For the admission requirements, I need to have my IELTS, so I´m on that now. The only problem is that they accept 35% of the people that subscribe to AMFI.
