I have never been so ready for it to be Friday. This week has been long and exhausting. It was our first week of classes and I went to EVERY single class that fit in my schedule. That means that I left my house at 8:15 am and returned at 6:00 pm (at the earliest) every day. My brain hurts.
The good thing about my classes: I like them all.
The bad thing about my classes: I like them all.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
With my (tentative) plan, I have every Friday off, which encourages me to keep the schedule I chose this afternoon. That includes two language classes, a literature class, a linguistics class and a class about Spanish civilization. But we will see...
The credit issue continues to resolve, but it looks like I might test out of the 203 level by taking every chapter test from the course. Which means I'll have to study the hell out of some books before next Thursday. I'm really looking forward to it.
On a brighter note, I'm leaving tomorrow morning for southern Portugal, which should be fun. There's a group of five of us and we rented a car, bought a map, and made reservations at two hostels in Lagos and Portimao. We'll also stop in Tavira and possibly Faro.
And another random side note: I got new windows today. I don't even think they open out. So I can completely let go of those irrational fears from the first few days.
One more! I went to a cool film festival the other night! I watched a series of six short Spanish films about really different things: El Botellon, Ernest Hemingway, Dominican immigrants living in New York, etc. I might go again this evening if I can find some energy.
