Week 2 (Part 2): Classes Continue -- 2/2 to 2/4/16

Classes have been going well so far! Tuesday I had my other three classes--two language and one political science class. The language classes (one grammar and the other speaking and writing) are good because they will force me to stretch my language capacity and force me to speak and write with correct grammar, spelling, etc., but at the same time they are somewhat boring. At least I have my friend Jack Brower in my speaking and writing class to liven things up (he asked for a shoutout on my blog :D)!  I think as the semester goes on they will get better as in the speaking in writing class we will have debates on different topics and give presentations which will definitely be good for me.

As for my political science class, we are focussing on sociopolitical topics in Spain. It is more so looking at the cultural side of politics and how the people are affected. My professor is extremely interesting to listen to as he has so many stories from all of the countries he has been to and all the places he has studied in and experienced. It is a small class of about twelve students, so he said we will be doing a lot of talking, questioning, and working through issues like Catalonian desire for independence, immigration, elections, and other topics like these. I am definitely excited for this because I think there will be a lot of important conversations about what is currently happening in Spain, which is exactly what I want to learn.

Also! My friend Dave and I found a good deal to take a trip to London this weekend! We both really wanted to go and are going to have 2 jampacked days of sightseeing and tea :D. We are going to meet up with my friend Hayley and my sister´s friend Kelly for them to show us around! There will definitely be a lot a pictures come my Monday post! Can´t wait! 

As for the school I am taking classes in, here are a few pictures:

  

                   

Also I tried a pionono which is a spongecake type pastry at a cafe today. It was pretty amazing... a fiesta in my mouth. Anyway, Granada is known for their piononos, so I was obligated to try one! :P



Talk Soon!!
