Extracurriculars

Now that I have survived the first week of classes, I'm moving on to what I do best- jam packing every second of my schedule to the point of 24/7 entertainment and perhaps exhaustion. But first in case you are interested in my academic life, I'm taking (Enlish translation) BusinessTypes and Strategy, Market Research, Distribution Marketing, Power and Politics of Modern Spain, and The Consumer and his Environment.

For the fun stuff:

• I just got back from my first photography workshop. This is going to be difficult because- I'm enrolling in the middle of the course, and I forget a lot of the fundamentals from the photo class at Reservoir, oh and what I know is half-useless because I don't know the techinical vocab in Spanish. So, even though the past 2 hours were interesting, my brain hurts.
• I got a "job" and will be playing with a 3 year old and a 5 year old boy in English, as a sort of babysitter/tutor mix action. It's only one hour a week, but Im getting paid in euros.
• I have a language exchange partner, Esmeralda. She is learning English, so we alternate between English and Spanish. We hang out.
• I will be traveling tooooo. Alex and I are going to Morrocco in March, and hopefully Mike, from Georgetown, will meet us there! This weekend we are going to Extremadura (Merida, Caceres, Trujillo) with the program.
