First week of school and some home sickness.

So I just finished my first week of school.... it was mostly good.

I have met some cool people in my classes, mostly Americans, but there are people from all over the world.

Belgrano is so far, a pretty good University, I think that most of the teachers are pretty engaged... they really try and ask and make sure everyone is understanding them... but that gets somewhat redundant after a while.

My classes are as follows:

Mondays:
Latin American Cultural Studies 1pm-2:30pm
Latin American Gender Studies 2:30pm-4pm

Tuesdays:
Latin American History of the 20th Century 1pm-2:30pm
Latin American Literature                            2:30pm-4pm
Portuguese 101                                           4pm-7pm

Wednesdays:
Latin American Cultural Studies 1pm-2:30pm
Latin American Gender Studies  2:30pm-4pm
Advanced Oral Production         5:30pm-7pm

Thursday:
Latin American History of the 20th Century 1pm-2:30pm
Latin American Literature                            2:30pm-4pm
Portuguese 101                                           4pm-5:30pm



So far... I think my favorite class is Portuguese or Latin American Cultural studies.... But we'll see how that goes.

The international night is coming up for school too on the 15th of April, that should be pretty fun!


Another thing that has hit me pretty hard this week... is well... feeling a little homesick. On top of it being somewhat difficult to make some friends at first, I miss my family and friends, and well, my life as it was.
I hope it passes, today was really hard, but thanks to some good people it made it less difficult.

As well as things like Facebook and Skype that allow me to talk to the people I love help as well!!

I love you all and miss you all!
