FINALS, ETC. so I haven't had much time to update on the blog or add pictures because things are getting crazy busy with schoolwork! our finals start in a few weeks, and I have tons of work to do. lots of reading, short essays to write, and then 2 big projects that I am just starting and are super intimidating. for my history of andalucia class we have to write a big long paper on any topic. my topic is "la enseñanza y educación de los niños moriscos en granada". so, the teaching and education of morisco (muslim converted to christianity) kids in granada. so just lots of research and writing for that. shouldn't be too bad. and then the other project that I am a little stressed about is for my anthropology of religion class. it's this long fieldwork project, in which we have to conduct an interview, and do all this background info, and then plan and start this whole project and plan it out with a timeline and budget and more....not really sure. it's rather confusing. I am still trying to figure out my topic, which I need to do like now because I am going to the thursday night buddhist talk tonight and I want to ask the speaker if we can find a time to meet so I can interview her. eeek I'm nervous about asking her! I'm thinking of interviewing her about buddhism in spain, and then interview Jim my step dad about buddhism in the US and compare them....we'll see! and then i have a bunch of exams too which I need to study for.
ánimo, megs! (that means spirit, encouragement, cheer up. i LOVE that word)
CORDOBA. something super cool! tomorrow alan and I are taking the 7:30 am bus to Córdoba, a small andalucian town a few hours away. he has a class field trip to the cathedral and muslim mosque there, which I saw four years ago and are incredible. then we are hosteling it tomorrow night, and then spending saturday exploring cordoba. for alan's xmas gift I reserved a time for us at 2pm to go to the Hammams Al Andalus, which are the arab baths. I went four years ago and remember loving them. They are beautiful baths with a room for hot water, a huge room with warm water and stars cut out in the high ceiling, and a cold water room. and we get massages too! I am super excited to go back! :)
