It was a relaxing day today. Alicia and I slept late after our night out at Corona 15, and when we woke up we got to play with Claudia, who had stayed the night. It was cleaning day, so the limpiezadora (cleaning lady) was over and did a very thorough job. Lucia did our laundry and Alicia and I helped out by moving things around and looking after Claudia. We ate soup, chicken dumplings, and papas fritas (French fries) for lunch. Later, Alicia and I went for a walk and had some chocolate caliente at a café. It was so laid back and relaxing.

We start classes tomorrow! I am really excited, I feel like I’ve had such a long break since I’m starting so much later than everyone at MSU. I have all of my school supplies and such, which is good because I only have ten minutes between each of my classes.

LX:

10,40-12,10; 341B Literatura Español – Aula 4 con Reyes-Torres

12,20-13,50; 411A Gramática Avanzada – Aula 5 con Guitart

14,00-15,30; 343 Literatura Latinoamericana – Aula 4 con Peris-Lorca

15,40-17,10; 490 Media Popular Español – Aula 4 con Peris-Lorca

17,20-18,50; 499 La Economía Española – Aula 1 con Barranco

That’s my class schedule. LX stands for lunes y miercoles which are Monday and Wednesday. It’s a busy schedule, but I like having my classes one after another like that, and then I have all of Tuesday and Thursday left to explore and hacer la tarea (do homework). I like the fact that I have a lot of different professors so that I get to see how different the teaching styles are here.

I realized today, when Alicia and I were taking a walk around the Nuevo Centro and the area just north of there (lots of elementary schools, apartments, and office buildings) just how much my hair, skin color, and eyes set me apart from everyone. People literally stare at me. If I thought it would help, I would just dye my hair brown, but I don’t think it would look good on me.

Alicia and I just finished our cena, which was the same vegetable soup with pasta we had for lunch, and then turkey sandwiches to go with it, and I’ve just finished typing this update to post tomorrow at the center.

Now (at 23,21) I have also managed to reply to everyone who sent me emails, (thank you again!) and saved them to send automatically once I have an internet connection (isn’t technology awesome?!). Hopefully I can keep this more up to date in the future and avoid having to post several parts at once. I’ll let you all know how classes go tomorrow, but only after I’ve terminado mi tarea, claro (finished my homework, of course).
