Class start

Monday was the first day of our semester classes. I have 8:00 classes every day, Monday through Thursday, which means I have to get up at 6:30 and leave the house at 7:30. Katie only has 8:00 classes on two days, so two days a week I have to walk to school myself which is okay, because there are a lot of people out in the morning. I have my grammar class every Monday and Wednesday, which will be a lot of work, but not difficult. One interesting thing about the class is that during the class when we are talking, if we make an error the professor writes it on the board, and then at the end of the discussion she goes over everyone’s errors. While I understand the importance of learning our mistakes, it makes talking very intimidating. Luckily, there are only seven of us in the class, so we are all pretty close. I have a culture/history class every Monday and Wednesday. This class will be a lot of work. For Wed. I have to read roughly 80 pages in Spanish about prehistoric Spain. If it were in English it would take me roughly 2 hours, but in Spanish, it’s nearly impossible to finish. I spent most of Monday night working on homework.

I had my first literature class today. Every Tuesday and Thursday I have it at 8:00. This class will be a bit of work as well. I am already dreading our 6-8 page paper due at the end of the semester. This is the only class I have Tuesday, which means I can use the afternoon to be productive, and attempt to read a bit about prehistoric Spain. I do find it a bit ironic that I am taking a class to learn about Spain’s history, while studying in Central America. This weekend we are planning on renting a room at a hotel in the city that has a pool. We do not want to go far, but want to get out of our houses and spend some time relaxing. The details are stilling be planned, but is should be planned.

The picture is not great, but is the classroom i have all my classes.
