My life in Spain by 崔雪洁 https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e en-us 2018-09-18 17:43:43 UTC 2026-01-12 01:13:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecookie.png My daily life cxj619 https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283072921 My name is Xuejie Cui. I was born in China, so I am a Chinese student study at UAM. I learn Spanish as my first foreign language, French as my second foreign language.  Though it is difficult to learn, I am very happy to learn many foreign languages. 
There is nothing special about my study life, which basically means going between school and home. My classes are all in the morning, from 9 o’clock to 2 o’clock, so my activities with my friends are mostly in the afternoon and evening. It takes about an hour to get from my home to school by subway and train. When I don't have any class, I like to go shopping with my friends. Sometimes I don't buy anything, but the process is very happy. Because during the shopping process, you can eat a lot of snacks, and you will also talk about some very pleasant topics. I also like to watch make-up videos. Recently, I liked Zoeva's coco blend eye shadow disc, ready to buy it on weekends. I also like animals, my boyfriend and I have a chinchilla and a rabbit.
 
Look, this is my chinchilla, it's name Tuotuo.

But after the freshness had passed, the problem coming one by one. ]]> 2018-09-19 11:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283366612 The problem cxj619 https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283371112 The biggest problem is eating. After losing my freshness to Western food, I began to miss the taste of my hometown very much. So, I started to learn how to cook myself. I remember very clearly that my first meal took four hours. But now I can quickly solve the eating problem. I believe many foreign students have gone through this step. Now I cook most of my meals at home, sometimes at school's cafeteria, or out with my friends.
In addition to eating, the biggest problem is loneliness. In foreign countries, because of cultural and language differences, sometimes I'm lack of sense of belonging, learning pressure is also very heavy. Because my mother tongue is Chinese, Chinese and Spanish are two languages that is completely different, Spanish learning is very difficult for me. Especially in our Chinese New Year, I will miss my family very much. But fortunately, I have a lot of friends to accompany me.

This is the hotpot I made by myself.]]> 2018-09-19 12:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283371112 Enjoy cxj619 https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283372106 This is my fourth year in Madrid. The lifestyle here is far from that of China. The rhythm of life in Madrid is slow, there are many festivals, compared to the Oriental modest, what Madrid brings to me is romance and enthusiasm. Let me feel the warmth in a foreign country. It also made my study abroad career colorful. I was not accustomed at the beginning, but now I start to enjoy the lifestyle here.]]> 2018-09-19 12:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cxj619/w0pqzs7jbu2e/wish/283372106
