mis clases

So I have now been to three days worth of classes and have decided which ones I am going to take. The first week of classes is structured different than in the US…you can go around and check out any class that you are interested in and by the end of the week you have to set up a final class schedule.

The first class is mandatory and it is a Spanish grammar class that is taught by the director of my program. It sounds like it is going to be a ton of work but hopefully will help my Spanish a lot as well. I also am taking a econ class which will be pretty hard but I think will be interesting, a translation class which is also going to be hard because it is for high level Spanish ability but I hope that will challenge me and help out a lot in the end. The final two classes I am going to take are contemporary Spain which I hope wont be too hard and acting theory or something like that which also wont be too hard. I was going to take a class called Spain in images where we watch movies and learn about the history of Spain but I decided to drop that and take the acting one. I have not been to the acting class yet but I hear it is basically practicing and learning about acting theory and then producing a play in Spanish that we present at the end of the semester.

All in all I think my classes are going to be a lot more work than I had expected but as long as I don’t have to give up a weekend of travel time because of homework on a regular basis I think I can manage and it will be fine.
