first days at school

My first thoughts:
Wow, I feel awkward.

I am lucky to have a class with one of my friends from my program, (we are both taking Psychology), but in my first class session, the teacher made me stand up, shook my hand, asked me my past experiences and more. It was as if I had a huge spot light on me! I did make two friends in my first class (Publicity Design), and I am working in their group which will be fun. I was so thankful when they asked me to be the art director of our ad campaign, so I feel like that class will be right up my alley. I am also taking Introduction to Photography, which while the professor first anounced that the class would be the hardest yet, we talked about jpegs, had a discussion on camera raw, and he told us a brief definition of the adobe photoshop program, so it kinda sounds like a joke so far, (mom and dad, I know that is not what you want to hear!). We will start doing photo projects soon, so I am sure it will get hard then.

The funniest class I have is Theory of Publicity and Public Relations. My new spanish friend told me that the teacher is just like Dr. House from the tv show and it is SO TRUE. I cannot get the image out of my head. He was also talking about this term /pagashinne/ a lot for the last class, which I wrote in my notes having no idea what it was because I had never heard of the word before, until I found out 5 minutes before class was out that it was /packaging/. Very nice!

I am going on another trip this weekend with my Cordoba traveling group to Gibraltar. I think this time instead of taking the gondola up we are going to hike to the top, which will be fun, especially if the monkeys come on our path!! I am sure we will all be really lively on our 9:30 bus ride, but I will need to remind them to bring cards again! The last time we stuck around in the Cordoba airport and played Presidents and it was a hoot, especially since I lost or got second to last each time.

What else... no margerine-mystery sausage bocadillo today! A slight improvement for an omlete one, but I have agreed with Calida Marie Danko on this fact that the spanish tortilla is not our food of choice! I think am going to color a sign on my señoras fridge with some crayolas telling her to let me make my own... lets see how that works out!
