Today being Monday, I had my art and design class at 8am. This sucks because without my suitcase (which I still don't have) I have no alarm clock so I have to make sure and watch my clock. Fortunately there's quite a few others who also have 8am class. During my 2 hr art and design class we talked about Inca and Spanish culture and how the two butted heads when the Spanish arrived. We then went out into town to look at a imitation, baroque artwork on a store front then we went across the street to the textile museum. A woman started this because she believed original weaving and the use of natural dyes were becoming sparse with the increase of tourism. So in the museum there were 2 women dressed in traditional clothing weaving as well as shelves of handmade goods.
During the middle part of the day I went to lunch and also got a passport type photo done in order to get both a library and international student card. Back at la casa I had some time to kill so I turned on the tv and found a channel in English with Spanish subtitles. I watched Ghost Whisper but also saw a number of American shows advertised like Desperate Housewives, Greys Anatomy and America's Got Talent.
I then went back to the university for my Spanish class at 3pm. This is my favorite class out of the 2 because the professor is really funny (almost as cute as senora) and I feel like a smarty pants. Like I said in an earlier post there's 2 other girls and me who are more advanced and so we did an activity as a group today and during class the teacher talks to use in Spanish.
After the 3 hrs of class some girls from my class and I headed over to the Mega (the supermarket) in order to get dinner. We made pasta with veggies and had bread and cheese. It was quite yummy and much less expensive then eating out!
