Sorry I haven't updated over the past few days. My days have been filled with the intensive grammar classes from 9 until 2 and then usually lunch followed by a series of "charlas" or "talks" about oreintation things. We really haven't been doing much besides this, so I felt that it was boring for me, and therefore it would be boring for you all to read about.
Little by little I am using my Spanish more. My friends and I have started switching from pure english to spanglish...or more spanish than english. So that's nice. I have also had some random talks with the locals, so I am feeling a bit more comfortable.
Today we had registration. I am going to be taking the following classes:
Spainsh Literature from 19th to 20th century
Contemporary Spanish Women's Literature
Political Systems of Spain and Portugal
Advanced Grammar and Usage
Specialized Abnormal Psychology (maybe atleast another Psych if not)
Next week start all of my classes but the Psychology, so it'll be nice to be on a schedule. Today I went shopping for like 4 hours and finally found a comfortable pair of boots in my size!!!!!!!! (it's like searching for a needle in a haystack)and I bought a black over the shoulder bag for notebooks for class seeing as people see my jansport backpack and immediatly say...American...
That brings me to the people here. I like them, but I don't think they like me. The spanish people are much more serious than latin americans. Almost a little cold. I guess it will take some getting use to.
As for ways to improve my Spanish, I am looking to join the Chorus at the university and do a few intercambio meetings. We'll see how everything goes!
Well, I am off to do some homework. Bleh. Chao for now!!!
