I know picking favorites is a no-no with a lot of things, but with classes (and let's be honest, most other things) it's inevitable. I think I've already decided...the class about Islam and Spain is eye-opening for me because it combines perfectly my two interests, Arabic and Spanish. I can pick out some of the Arabic words and it's so exciting to see how inter-related the two cultures are. I can't wait to go to Morocco!
The professor for the Prado Museum course could be my grandmother, she's so adorable and her love for art is so obvious when she's teaching. I'm hoping to gain a better appreciation for museums, because, if I were to be completely up-front about things, I'm not much of a museum-goer. Perhaps this class will help change that.
And the cinema class. What can I say? I certainly don't mind watching Volver for the third time is it...?
Notice how I haven't mentioned my Arabic course. Well...there are two problems. First, I have an hour class on Friday which may come between me and traveling on Friday mornings. Second, although I'm positive I will get credit for the class, I'm not positive it will count towards my minor. NYU red-tape...
But besides that...still loving life in Madrid. It's very similar to NY, but has a bit of a slower pace, which is nice for a change.
Tonight...off to La Latina, a barrio (neighborhood) in Madrid.
Hasta luego!
