Classes

Well, I start classes Monday. As it is right now, I have only 3 classes, because I can add classes, but cannot drop them. I’m planning on going to 4 for the first two weeks at which point I have to decide whether or not to add the fourth. Right now I have The Music of Spain in the 17^th and 18^th Centuries, Social Movements in Contemporary Spain, The Primitive Christianity (Study of history and spread of Christianity following the death of Christ), and Cultural Anthropology of Iberoamerica. I have classes all day Monday and Tuesday but none on Wednesday and Friday. I can’t complain. If I can afford to skip a Thursday class, I can take a 5 day weekend to travel.

On an unrelated note. There really are many more smokers here. I can’t say that everyone smokes, but there are so many and I figure you can’t be smoking all the time such that it’s got to be a considerable percentage. The only thing that outnumbers the many Tobacco stores is the banks. There are a bajillion banks. There’s a Caja Duero next to a Santander next to another Caja Duero near my school. There’s even a Banco Espiritu Santo which is Holy Spirit Bank. It makes me laugh anyway. Oh and now I have a picture of the Plaza Mayor at night. Enjoy!
