Today was the first day of classes. I only had two though, Contemporary Spanish Cinema, and the Contemporary Spanish Novel. They both seem like they'll be really interesting. I could understand the professors, too! Unfortunately all my classes are only with American students, but they will all be taught in Spanish and the exams must be written in Spanish as well. Tomorrow I'm going to go to a Spanish art history class, from El Greco to Picasso. I'm really excited about that one. I also have Flamenco as an Expression of Andalusian Culture and something or other about the political development of the European Union. Should be pretty fun. My roommates and I went out for tapas the other night. We each had two small dishes and a glass of wine and only spent 5 euro each. Incredible. They were delicious too! I had some sort of chicken kabob wtih french fries and a sausage-stuffed, fried bell pepper. It sounds strange, but it was tasty. They really like to fry things here. I've been running with Zoe which is nice. We just do a little loop across two bridges and along the river. The river is my favorite part of the city, which is strange because it's actually rather disgusting and reminds me of the pond at Manito. The branch we live by is actually manmade because the real one used to flood all the time so they cut this one in. It's stillwater, but it's still nice to run along. One of these days I'm going to rent a little kayak and boat along it. I'm going to go to mass on Sunday. I printed off the Our Father and Apostle's Creed today in Spanish so I don't look like an idiot. Well, that's about all I know right now. XOXO
