First day of classes
Today was my first day of classes at the Universidad Santa Maria. Its an engineering school but I'm taking all my classes there anyway. It is hands down the most gorgeous school I've ever attended. If anyone knows of second beach in Rhode Island, this school is a lot like st georges school. Its right on the top of this hill overlooking the ocean and it has some amazing views. Its really funny cus they have a study room on the top floor of the main building but there is absolutely no way people can stay focused enough to study in that place with those views. Anywhooo on to the classes. After a campus tour we had the first of our ten intensive spanish classes. Three and a half hours of spanish with this crazy professor who loves using slang in english. His favorite word is chillax so that kinda gives you a picture. It was a blast from the past cus I havent thought this hard in another language since I was failing radlers spanish class junior year of high school. That being said I think its gonna be a great experience and my spanish will improve hugely. The downfall is that its legit school which means legit homework. Guess the honeymoon is over and its time to get down to business. On our way home we had to take the micro (the bus system) and I messed up the stops so me and my gringo friends ended up walking about a mile and a half home when it should have been about a quarter of a mile. Da igual. But I am now realizing that its hard to speak/write in english because everyhting is meshing together. So if this blog randomly turns in to spanish i appologize. But I must go do the homework and go to bed because I have class at 8 am tomorrow. Boo hiss. Las clases son malas pero son muy importante en la experiencia de intercambio. Tengo mucha suerte estar aqui.
