Escuela

I'm in school now. Well, I'm off now for the weekend (Fridays have no school!) and am sleepily dragging myself out to be sociable. Today was productiveish.

Here's my school Schedule/Classes I am taking:

Monday:

11:00-1:00 Salamanca time:

Literature

In which we, I suppose, learn the history of Spanish literature starting in year 1000. Lots of Arabic right now, translated for us into Spanish. The whole thing is in Spanish so it's a bit confusing. My professor has a very soothing voice, and it's a very sleepy sort of class.

7:30-9:30 pm

Spanish Cinema

In which we watch Spanish movies and discuss, in Spanish, their historical significance. I suppose we'll also study about technique. Woo, new jargon.

Tuesday

11:00-1:00

Spanish Grammar

One class today. I like Thursdays.

Wednesday

9:00-11:00

Translation

Taught in English and Spanish... in that we are translating English texts into Spanish and are learning about Grammar

11:00-1:00

Grammar

4:30-6:30

European Union

This one is in English. We are learning about the function and processes of the European Union and the politics and economics incorporated. It's also a class that encourages us to read the news and keep up with things.

Only 6 hours of class on Wednesdays. Hmm.

Thursdays

9:00-11:00

Translation

11:00-1:00

Literature

4:30-6:30

European Union

7:30-9:30

Spanish Cinema

Ugh. 8 hours of class.

Friday

no school!

Not too bad.

I'm also planning a trip to Rome, for November 19-22. So far, if we get all of our bookings right, we only are going to spend 150 dollars per person for flights, board, buses, and more buses. Includes: 2 nights in hostel, flight there and back, bus ride to Madrid and Back to Salamanca, buses to and from airport.

Not too shabby. Very excited.

I'm also trying to plan a weekend trip to Paris.
