Clases at the University

This week started classes at the Universidad de Burgos. I picked out about 8 classes that I wanted to try out but I will only register for 3. In the morning there was a meeting for the new international students so I was unable to attend my first class (but in Spain this apparently really does not matter). The first class I attend was Creacion Lexica en el Espanol actual which is taught by one of my professors from my seminar class. This class about the formation of words. So I will learn what different parts of words mean and I think it will be very useful for understand Spanish better. I really liked this class and have decided that I will definitely be taking it. The next class I attended was Historia de America Latina. I think the material in this class is interesting and I can understand the professor fairly well (although taking notes definitely complicates my comprehension). I still have another history class to try out which is not meeting until next Monday, La Monarquia Hispanica y su proyeccion Exterior, which is more of a Spanish history class. After I attend that class, I will decided between it and Historia de America Latina. On Tuesday I attended La Educacion de Intercultural which I LOVE, the professor is amazing, very hippy like. The class basically consists of reading three books and discussing them in class. That is it, no final, no papers, SO SWEET :D So obviously I have decided to take that class. After 5pm today, I am done with classes for the week because none of my classes or class options meet on Thursday or Friday. I am hoping to know my schedule by the end of the day next Monday. The next big event in my life is my trip to Morocco at the end of this month!
