I am taking:
Historia de España Antigua (Ancient Spanish History)
Historia de Andalucía en la Edad Moderna (Modern Andalucian History)
Antropología de Religión (okay, I guess I don't really need to translate these haha...)
Gramática Avanzada de Español
My Ancient Spain history class is a big group of 100 first-year Spanish history majors. I need to make a friend so I can get notes from him/her. I went to the Professor Padilla Arroba's office hours and introduced myself the first day, and he was very understanding and helpful. I expect the class to be your typical lecture-take lots of notes style class. So solid, nothing too extraordinary. Should be good!
History of Andalucía is taught my the professor who taught the UC students history during ILP, so he already knows me. Good start. There are 10 or so UC students in that class, and we've made friends with some funny immature Spanish boys in the class, haha.
I'm excited about Anthro of Religion. Kelsey and I went and talked to her, and she is also very easy to talk to and helpful. The class is smaller, about 40 students, mostly spaniards but some other European students too. We have to do a big group presentation with a long paper, and I signed up for the topic of Buddhism, which I am really excited about, as I have always wanted to study and learn more about Buddhism!
The grammar class is a class for UC students, and so it is my easy laid back class where I get to see my friends and it's nice and chill. I'm not a huge grammar fan, but the professor is funny and it will be nice.
The main university campus is called Cartuja, and is located on top of the hill looking over the city. It is a 45 minute walk uphill to get to class, or a 25 minute bus ride. Normally I bus it up there and then walk home downhill. The view from the campus is gorgeous! And we've had some weird weather, one day there was a huge thunderstorm and I watched the huge dark angry clouds move toward the hill, it was magical!
