My planner said that it was April fool’s day on Tuesday but I don’t think that they celebrate that here. I wasn’t April fooled all day. Classes did start back up again however, even though I didn’t really have classes. I talked to my Mom on skype in the morning and then I headed to school for teatro. Megan wasn’t there (still in Ireland) so we concentrated on memorizing our lines and then tried to do the whole thing without looking at the script. Let’s just say that we have a lot of work to do.
I stayed at school to use the internet and worked on my Trabajo del Campo (field work) for Mass Media. The essay for the Trabajo del Campo has to be 8 pages, so I figured I had better start it early. My trabajo is going to be about the viñetas (political cartoons) here, the themes that they reflect and all jazz. It’s pretty cool actually to see the differences between here and the US in the viñetas. For instance, there are a lot more viñetas here that depend on dialogue or the captions as opposed to relying on the drawing itself.( This viñeta is one of my favorites here: )( Read more... )
I also worked on uploading pictures to my computer and began adding them to my blog. I’m adding them to past entries as well as the new ones, so be sure to check out the old entries to see the pictures that go along with them!
