Recap

Update! Still having charger problems, which is a problem. As I would prefer to be taking photos. However, photos have been uploaded to Facebook and should be put on Flickr before too long.

In the time between beginning this post and now I found my charger, oh happy day! I am chronically disorganized, at least in my room; I like to think I make up for it in my notes.

Things have been consistently going pretty well over here, except for a bout of salmonella that hit three of my friends and me, that was disruptive. Classes are in full swing and I'm enjoying them all so far!
Dialectología (Dialectics?)
Dialects of Spanish/Castellano in the peninsula and in America
Sintaxis comparada (Comparative Syntax)
The second semester of my syntax class last semester. Same professor, different topics.
Phonology and Phonetics
Outside of the program with Spanish students, there is a German girl so I'm not the only extranjera! The building blocks of linguistic studies.
20th Century Spanish Art
Just what it sounds like. We have been learning about Gaudi and Barcelona and now I want to go there even more than I did already!
18th Century Spanish Lit
The enlightenment! I had to think for a while to get that in English. Other class with Spaniards. Here I have three other WIPTers (Badgers!) in the same class which I'm glad about, we can stand together! Lots of reading for this one.

This past weekend was the "Carnaval" celebration and I went down to the parade with Lindsay and Caleb. There were a lot of cool groups, unfortunately no pictures though. Two popular places to go to celebrate Carnaval are Cádiz and the Canary Islands.

As of Sunday night, my friends and I have a trip set to go to Germany during our Holy Week break. Other homeland! But, a lot has to happen before we get to that.

Un abrazo muy fuerte!
