here we go again

Classes started again yesterday. I am so glad actually. A week of Spanish oblivion, as relaxing as it was, got pretty tedious. Plus, I started running out of excuses as to why I wouldn't go out with the girls clubbing week nights. It came down to me just being a cranky old lady and bailing to go to bed. Vitty was SOOOO pleased.

So I have a couple of literature classes, one of which is over 18-19th century lit, and the other which is about 20th century lit. XIX is taught by the witch who did my placement exam, the reason I had to move up classes and feel hassled. Turns out, after having three weeks of intensive grammar that the witch thing is just a front. She is hilarious, and quite lovable in a very sandpapery teddy bear kind of way. I am pumped to be back with her again. It will make for an interesting and challenging class. Then, for XX I got a new professor who is incredibly terrifying. He is brilliant. I am sure of it. Seriously though, I cannot imagine talking in his class though because he ridicules and has extremely strong opinions. The first interaction we had went as follows...

P: "I want everyone to say who they are, where they study, and what."

ME: "I am Eleanor and I study in Minnesota, USA. I study Spanish, International Business and Global Studies."

P: "Yeah. Whatever that is."

ME: (RED RED REDDD FACE)

Another thing worth mentioning is that I have become acquainted with the fruit store man by my house. I go in almost everyday to buy some new fresh thing and he is now getting to know what I like. He made a recommendation for this very yummy olive oil that I incorporate into almost every meal. Even breakfast sometimes. It is a very common breakfast here to have olive oil on toast. YUM!
