Hola todas! Today was the first day of classes and I had three, wheew! The first class was at 9:30 in the morning and me being the morning person that I am didn't see that as being an issue. Boy was I wrong! I must have slept through my alarm (which happens more often than I care to admit) and woke up at 8:57. Waking up 33 minutes before class may not have been an issue for someone that lives closer to school, but for me it was nearly impossible to make it on time because I live a good 25 minutes from school. Contrary to my thoughts while running the streets of Segovia at 9:20, I actually made it!! I also found out upon my arrival that I wasn't the only one to sleep in and there were also two students that strolled in 10 and 20 minutes late! Gracias a Dios!
My first class was History, Society and Cinema and our professor, Eduardo is great, but he speaks very fast! After my first class I had a 90-minute break to work on homework and such which was instead spent talking and hanging out with my friends. I think when we start getting more homework we may have to be a bit more productive during that time! My next class began at 12:30 and is the study abroad seminar taught by Brian Larkin, the CSB/SJU professor that is directing our program. This I think will be the most difficult of my classes here as we already have 50 pages to read in spanish by Thursday! We'll see how that pans out! After this class at 2:00 we all went home for lunch and siesta. I had lentil soup and fish and apple yogurt for lunch and took about a 10-minute nap because I had to be back to the aqueduct at 4 to go to my last class of the day: culture and art history. This class sounds fun because we take a variety of tours around the city to explore the art and history of Segovia.
A few friends and I then went to a cafe to grab some postres (dessert) and coffee while hanging out and doing some homework. Now I am at home and I am all alone! My host mom is an actress and she has play practice tonight. I am already planning when my friends and I can go see her play! I must eat my dinner alone tonight, but that's ok! Also, since tuesdays are a big night to go out on the town I must do as the Spaniards do and comply so I will be meeting my friends at the aqueduct at 11 as usual! There are also two senior Johnnies that are here somewhat randomly so we are going to show them the city! All is well here except for the loads of homework being thrown my way, I hope you are all doing just great and not missing me too much!
