Classes

I'm taking five classes this semester, a decision which usually elicits the "are you crazy?!" response from people who ask. My program's classes started earlier than University classes, so I've already got a pretty good feel for them. Highlights include being shepherded into an unmarked white van with ten other students, driven for half an hour out of the city, and then told to wait outside a dimly lit storage warehouse in the middle of nowhere while the electricity was connected. Turns out we were attending the "practical" portion of archaeology class - we even got to touch a skull that was probably from around the 1100's!

The classes I'm taking this semester are:
Roman Andalusia*
Prehistory of the Iberian Peninsula
Andalusian Archaeology*
History of Photography
Arabic

The classes marked with an * are program classes - that is, they're taught in a more American format with only program students, more discussion, etc. The other classes are mainstream University classes run entirely by the Spanish system, which sometimes means not at all. About thirty Spanish, Erasmus, and programs students showed up to the first Prehistory lecture at 10:30 ... and waited ... and waited ... and waited for the professor to show up! After about an hour, everyone left except us program kids who naively knocked on the prof's office door. He showed us that he didn't actually have class until 11:30, by pointing to the last column on his schedule:
... I really hope he teaches better than he reads schedule charts.
