Oh, right. I have to take classes, too.

These past couple weeks have been a little crazy. Right after getting back from the Mendoza/Santiago trip, I had to settle in with my new host family and then one day later, classes started! Since then, I've been busy adjusting to the new routine between the host family and classes, which has been generally a pretty confusing and tiring process. Before classes started, all of us were advised to research and find between 10 and 15 classes that appealed to us, and then in first week or so, try out them ALL to get a feel for different professors, times, teaching styles, etc., so that in the end of all this we would be able to choose 5 classes that would be good fits for us. Of course, for a lot of us, the first consideration we had to take was whether or not we could understand a reasonable amount of what the professor was saying. After being in classes for three weeks now, and having had endless changes made to my schedule, I've finally managed to get a good idea of what my schedule looks like - let's hope that at this point, no more changes are going to be made:
- Español para Extranjeros (Spanish for Foreigners)
- Seminario de la Historia de las Ideas y Procesos Políticos Argentinos (History of Argentine Ideas and Politcal Processes)
- Historia del Arte Hispanoamericano y Argentino (Argentine/Latin American Art History)
- Economía Política (Politcal Economy/Macroeconomics)
- Dibujo - Anatomia Artística (Drawing - Artistic Anatomy)

Shut up. Economics totally compensates for Drawing.

I think I've overall gotten pretty lucky with professors, although it's going to be interesting to adjust the differences in general teaching style between here and the States, I think. We'll see! I'm sure I'll be reporting back on this more later.
