First day of classes

1/14/2013
Bilbao, Spain

Today was the first day of classes. What a slap in the face... who knew this wasn't a vacation?! I am excited to learn a ton of Spanish though. I even tested into Intermediate Spanish. However, there was no designated class for Beginner Spanish, and there are only a total of 5 people in the class haha... so I'm guessing the university just combined 1 and 2. But I can pretend :)! So I'm taking Intermediate Spanish 1, 2, and 3 (1 is the first month and a half, 2 is the following month and a half, and so on). In addition to this, I'm taking Basque culture and language - for anyone who doesn't know, Bilbao is the Basque country - and hopefully I'm taking a Psychology course. I say hopefully because this class would be with the locals (but taught in English!) and their schedule doesn't start until February 11th, therefore the Psychology class wouldn't start until then either. I'll find that information out tomorrow! After classes (only 3 hours today), the rest of the group and I met up to discuss future travel plans!!! Nothing is set in stone... but every option is great! Everything has been great actually... except the rain. That's something I hope I get used to... and soon, because I looked at the weather and it is going to rain for at least the next ten days.
