El primer día de clases...the first day of classes


Classes started today (except for one because the professor was sick), and none of them seem to be too difficult. I was surprised at how laid-back the professors are, because many of the students will talk while they are talking and the professors really don’t seem to care. It’s almost annoying because the professors speak very quietly, so it makes it nearly impossible to hear. I guess I’ll have to remember to sit a little bit closer to the front next time. I’m going to be taking three courses this semester, all of which are in the same room and one right after another. It’s very convenient.

In our class we met a bunch of other students from Spain and they invited us to get a beer with them because the second class was canceled. I’m amazed at how often everyone drinks here. When we got to the little bar across from the campus, everyone ordered a beer or an “anís” on the rocks (liquor that tastes a lot like Sambuca). While we were there, a girl named Pipa taught me how to make origami swans. The students in my class are trying to make 1,000 of them (each with a name and a message) for a student that was in a car accident over winter break. I made two of them, and I think we will probably be making more tomorrow!
