Beep. Beep. Beep. I toss and turn in my bed and see the alarm flashing the numbers 7:40 a.m. in the dark. Geez, am I late already?! I was supposed to meet my friend 10 minutes ago down the street so that we could catch the metro together from Plaza de España to Moncloa, the main metro stop for the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).
