Been hanging around Heredia these past weekends getting more into school work so thought I would describe my classes a little.
Spanish Class: Obvi a necesity here, its the one class with just exchange students from the program, I love my teacher its nice having a younger teacher which I have never experienced at AU.
Dibujo 1: Drawing which i thought would be easy and a break from all the spanish but since only actual art students take the class it is kinda intense...but I have a few poeple in the class that I talk to and ride the bus back with so I enjoy that. The profe is nice, he likes to practice his english with me.
Apreciation of Dance: Probobly my favorite class...the profe is a dance teacher here and weve done such cool exercises...breathing, meditation, walking exercises to learn to like have correct weight distribution and release tension, we used our hands to like tell a story to music and hopefulyl will be goign to see dance production here or in San Jose. His flexibility and comfort with his body is amazing, I am jealuse.
Social Construction of the Body: Women's study course that is definatly the most challanging b/c I am the only exchange student in the class and everyone knows eachtoher but there are 2 students that are very nice and helpful...the readings for this class are soo cool its intersting to see latin american women's perspective on issues like machismo, feminism, sexuality, I am surprised of how liberal and analytical the authors and students here are, somehow I thought America was like the only country that really had a strong movement in these areas but definatly not. Have another class that is very similiar and forget the name of it but it is also very good, it is very frustrating not feeling capable of particpating in the classes beacuse all my brainpower is beign used to even understand the basic theme of the conversation there is no way i have the time or energy to formulate my own opinion, but hopefully this will get easier with time, I am very worried about the tests and presentations I have coming up but I am trying my best.
Spinning class! I am a member at the gym close by and go to spinnins class once a week, i really look forward to it actually we listen to t.a.t.u remixes and good spanish music. I tried one aroebic class and it was fun but they go really fast.
Ive spend alot of time in the program office this weekend trying to set up volunteer work and gettting my credit card back from the stupid atm machine that ate it, and its been nice talking to the women of the program, they are so sweet and helpful and i think it is great how bonded they get with the groups.
Soo thats my update for now, going to Nacional Festival de Boyerros tomorow in San Jose with the group and hopefully will have some new pictures to add s
