Second day of school

Day 2 of classes has occurred. Well, at least part of it. I had Flamenco, Cinema, and Semantics this afternoon. I was very hungry by the time I got home. I still have to go back to school in an hour for the Food class to give it a chance before most likely dropping it.

Flamenco seems like a very interesting class, but hard as well. I talked to several people who'd heard the class was hard, and the professor did a lot of writing and had us take a bunch of notes. If I keep this class, I'll have to go to a couple of flamenco shows and write a paper about them. Sounds like fun, but the paper is worth 40% of my grade. No pressure. The professor ends the class right at the official end time (11am), which I don't like because the next class period starts right at 11am and Cinema is crowded and I like sitting near the front. I officially added Cinema, the professor is amazing and it looks like we'll be watching some very fun movies in the class. Semantics looks like another tough class, so I'm still not sure if I should go for that one or the flamenco one. I'll go to a couple more to get a better feel for them, but I have to choose by next week.

And since I'm trying to catch up with picture posting now that I know how to do it, here are some more pictures:
1) Lisa, one of the two dogs in my host home
2) La Catedral. That's Spanish for "the cathedral." It's about a 3-minute walk from my school.
3) The Geranios group with Nuria, one of our teachers, at a wine tour in Jerez, Spanish wine country.
4) me in front of a church in Jerez
5) Barrio Santa Cruz at night
