First day of school! I tell ya, I don’t mind going to school at all when our campus has one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world and all of our classes are about Spanish culture. ¿Qué fabulosa, no?
My first class is History of Spanish Art. My teacher is adorable, and wore the coolest purple espadrilles today (on my to-do list is buy copious amounts of Spanish shoes). We are going to learn about Picasso, Gaudi, Valázquez, Goya and Dalí. Painting is one of my favorite hobbies and I cannot wait to delve into the history behind these masterpieces.
My second class of the day has a view of the two Catedrals from the window. We over look all of the red Spanish roofs, so it doesn’t really matter what the content is about now does it? It is a Spanish culture class taught by this darling woman named Donia. I love this class because it is helping me to learn how to be a Spaniard! For instance, being five minutes late is very typical, as is eating Paella every Sunday night (this is my kind of country).
We end every day with Andy (the best!) in our Spain Survival Guide class. We have been practicing vocabulary para nuestras casas and figuring out how to get out of potential sticky situations (examples include clogging the toilet, walking in on your señora naked, waiters not giving you change etc.) Hopefully none of these things happen to me!
I love every minute of my experience here. I can tell we all are learning to speak Spanish so quickly. I like to compare it to a parallel universe, or a video game level that I have entered. All of a sudden I now can converse with millions of more people in the world. I can learn about how they live and share their lives with them. It is something I am having difficulty getting down on paper but I am extremely thankful for my time spent here.
Besos y abrazos familia y amigos,
Katherina
