wow I haven't been updating at all, have I? when I get back to my room, I'm usually just so exhausted that I want to pass out.
but classes started Wednesday. let's go through a rundown, shall we?
Spanish 205 (Speaking in Spanish) - I thought this was going to be horrible after the first day. we went through the syllabus and every word spoken in that class was in Spanish. I didn't understand some of the sheet and that's what worried me. one kid stood up and told the teacher in English that this was too hard for him and left. another one told me he wouldn't be back the next day. but thankfully I stuck it out because Thursday was much clearer. these are everyday at 11, but it's a class I need and the profesora es muy simpatica.
Ancient Civilizations of the Mediterranean - this one should be interesting. la profesora is a little strict and the class is pretty small, but the subject matter is completely new to me, so I'm fascinated. it's basically readings and lectures. AND a group trip to MEDIRA, this ancient city/archaelogical site in Spain. which costs way too much. but when am I ever going to go there again in my life? never. so that's my rationing.
Digital Imaging and Photo Manipulation - it's a photography class. should be like Fr. Doll's, but more artsy. our teacher is really laid back, not your typical prof. and she shoots for magazines like Spanish Esquire, Vogue....and some Brazillian stuff. she's funny too. class should be fun.
Realism and Impressionism, ART 455? - I'm not sure if I should stick with this one. the professor was talking about how if you wanted a general art history course, you should take a survey. this one is just focused on the time period. and I've never taken art history before. but I'm not going to get this back at Creighton so I'll stick with it for a while.
Global Media - our professor is a loud man from Boston who talks a billion words per minute. it's at the end of the day (5:30 - 6) so hopefully I don't get tired.
Latin Rhythms and Dance - by far my most favorite class. we walk a 5 blocks down to the Islas Filipinas metro stop to a dance studio. it's 40 American students trying to shake their hips without moving their heels and trying the positions and everything. super fun.
well those are my classes. and I signed up for a piano lesson which I hope transfers. 18 credits in all!? and no classes on fridays. why would I do that? I don't know exactly. but all I have to do is get Cs for the credit to transfer because study abroad credit doesn't affect GPA. thank you Creighton.
