It's narrowed down to the following:
Mon/Wed: 11 - 1 Phonetics, 1 - 3 Grammar
Tues/Thurs: 9 - 11 Flamenco, 11 - 1 Cinema, 1 - 3 Semantics
I only need 4. I've registered for Phonetics, Grammar, and Cinema, and now have to choose between Flamenco and Semantics. I have no idea which one I want, at this point. The professor of the Flamenco class is a little bit less exciting than I'd like, but the material is interesting. The Semantics professor is much more engaging, but the material isn't as exciting. However, it would probably help me improve my Spanish more than the other class would. Even just looking at the times of the classes, it's between getting to sleep in versus getting to finish classes earlier. I really don't think I have a good enough feel for the classes and the professors to choose between them after just 2 classes. Apparently I need to choose by tomorrow, since Geranios needs my final schedule by then.
There's also a problem with the Grammar class. People are dropping it, and if we don't get at least 8 students registered, it gets dropped from the program. In that case, I'd no longer have to choose between the other 2, but I'd have to take both the Flamenco and Semantics classes which means I have a 6-hour block of straight classes twice a week. While that doesn't appeal to me, I think I could handle it. I've gotten used to bringing snacks to school, so I don't get too hungry during the 6 hours between breakfast and lunch.
Other than classes, things are going pretty well. I've had some very nice Skype conversations with people back home, and I just received a letter from my grandparents today. (Thanks, Grandparents!) I've got an ice cream/Firefly date with a friend tomorrow, and Saturday my group is going to Cordoba.
