Start of Classes

Nick and I, along with our friend Patrick, are heading to Palma de Mallorca for a three day weekend next week.  The other day Micaela informed us that she would be joining in the fun!  Well, I just found out she booked her trip for this weekend and not the same weekend as us!  Oh man it's kind of funny, kind of sad, I was looking forward to meeting up with her.. guess that'll have to wait for a bit.

Anyways, my regular classes for the semester started this week.  I have a double Spanish course every morning Monday through Friday with the same professor from my intensive course.  On Monday I had my first History of Spanish Art class.  Our teacher is really laid back and I think the course will be more fun than work.  My Spanish Cinema course is a little different, as we got crackin right away on watching a full movie.  Tomorrow I have to give a ten minute oral presentation about different aspects of the movie- in front of my full class of three people!  The Spanish grading system is quite different so its hard to say how I think I will fare this semester..

Yesterday my friend Adam brought along me, Nick, and our friend, El Jefe, to meet his Spanish novia and her friends.  We got to the bar, waited around, had some cervezas, waited some more, then realized they weren't going to show up!  Stiffed by Spanish chicas... until today Adam received a text saying something happened and she forgot.  Who knows really.

I feel as though I'm finally in a good routine here, between classes, meal times, and siestas.  I am absolutely crushing the delicious food mi madre prepares for me.  I think even Mark would be proud of me.

Hasta luego

Michael

I think it'd be funnier if I didn't explain why we're hanging out with some ostriches in this picture..
