First weeks of class

Sorry for the highly delayed posting, the last few weeks have been crazy busy, but not really. It's more like I just keep forgetting to update.

I've now officially been registered for my classes which are: Advanced Grammar and Syntax II, The Franco Regime, Literature and Politics in Spain in the 19th and 20th century, Economy of Modern Spain, and Surrealism in Spain. While I was hoping to take at least one class at the actual University of Salamanca with Spanish students, that just didn't work out. I tried out 4 different university classes and either didn't like the subject matter or the professor. In the end, it should work out fine though.

I added in a few pictures here that I took on my way home from class one night.


So far, the workload has been very light which is really nice. I have Fridays off for the first, last, and only time in my life! Woo! Each one of my classes has one essay due on April second, so I should prob start on those as I have midterms before them. But once again, a midterm, a final, and one paper; not all that difficult. We'll see though, you never know how things end up working out.

In other news, I've been spending a whole lot of money. Mostly on food as I'm trying to enjoy eating at least a little bit. Whenever I make a bigger meal, its usually with Reid and they've come out pretty well so far. I've also decided that if I don't come back ten pounds heavier after this semester considering the amount of chocolate, churros, and doner kebabs I've been eating, I have a tapeworm.

Molly and Jessica from Amherst came to Salamanca last weekend for a trip from Madrid where they're studying. I showed them around a little bit and ended up seeing them out on Saturday night. It was sooo cold that weekend though which was really unfortunate.

Life in Salamanca has been otherwise pretty stable, nothing all that exciting going on. I got my hair cut the other day which I thought could turn out disasterous considering the number of mullets I see on the streets, but it came out more or less fine. The people in the residencia had dinner together last week which was a really nice change of pace. The weather has vastly improved as well going from rainy every day to sunny every day and in the mid 50s. I'll try and update a little more often from now on as I feel I'm forgetting things that I've done.
