Buena Suerte

So it was bound to happen, although I didn't think it would happen so quickly...stepped in dog poop today! So bring on the luck! Also bring on the sponge, the shoes I was wearing couldn't have been worse for doggie doodoo!

I had my second day of class today, so now I have an idea of what all 4 classes are going to be like. Here is my schedule:

1. Culture and Cuisine in Spain. This class involves a wine tasting during our class time at 9am...that should be interesting! Also we will do a jamón (ham), chocolate, olive oil and coffee tasting.
2. Contemporary Spanish Literature. My professor's name is Magdalena which means muffin in spanish. She has already promised our class a little trip to the convent for some muffins at some point during the semester. I am also looking forward to reading some more modern stuff. I enjoyed Don Quijote but man is that book old! 
3. Public Health. My professor is a nurse here in Sevilla which is cool, but she has a thick Andalucian accent, so kind of hard to understand. We will be taking trips to local hospitals and elderly homes which I am excited for! 
4. Women Writers of the 20th Century. Magdalena is my professor for this class too! A class full of chicas talking about famous works by women. Sounds cool. 

All in all I am very happy with my schedule. I have two classes each day (except Friday), so I have the afternoon to enjoy my siesta and lunch with my señora. For now it involves getting up before the sun comes out but the city is so pretty early in the morning so it hasn't been too bad. Today was the warmest it has been since arriving in Sevilla. One thermometer read 22 degrees celsius which is about 71 degrees fahrenheit! Beautiful day to chill by the Guadalquivir river. Apparently there is a cold front coming back through, so it will only be around 60 degrees...wah wah. 

Since kindergarten, my nerd of a dad has made us make signs for our first day of school. So of course being in Spain was not an excuse to get out of it this year! Add this to 15 years worth of pictures! 

I'm off to work on my first homework assignment. A reading on the invention of the cuisine in Spain. Then dinner time. ¡Qué perfecto!
