Cinco de Mayo

5-5-10
I woke up and grabbed breakfast. I studied most of the morning before I had lunch. I then took the bus and talked to friends. I then asked one of my program heads about taking the train here. I think I have the possibility of saving money if I do the 9 day trip, by taking the train where it would take 26 hours instead of 20 hours, but save maybe lots of money and I have done longer on a train so I wouldn't mind. Then I headed to class.

In economics class, we talked about the European crisis and its affect on Latin America. My teacher was extremely non-PC today. Among his things, he said that Bernie Madoff is a saint compared to some Argentine people. It was pretty insane. After class, I and others headed to our Spanish class for our exam. For me, I think it went well. I mean we shall see. I then headed home. I relaxed and talked to friends. I watched Lost and had dinner.

Tonight's plan, go out and eat Mexican food with friends for Cinco de Mayo, the American holiday.

I woke up a bit tired but got up. I watched Lost then got ready for the day. After getting my stuff together, I headed over and grabbed lunch. I ate with some friends from last night. It was enjoyable. I then headed over to school. Once on campus, I met up with some friends and one of my program heads. I had a question about my Spanish homework so I asked my program head. I then headed into my economics class.

While we waited for my professor, the power random went out. The quote up top is from one of my peers on the matter. Then my professor showed up. Like last week, he went off on many tangents. He tried to teach us some stuff. But then he went on like a 20 minute thing about "Charley" Marx and socialism, and Chavez. He is very interesting...somewhat not very PC which is unusual coming from Guilford. After making through the class, I headed to Spanish.

In Spanish, we went over the homework and talked about various subjects. I quite enjoy the teacher. She and I like to make jokes to each other. For example when we were talking about the bad weather here that she blamed on climate change courtesy of the First World, I said no problem.

After class, I headed home to get away from the rain. I relaxed for most of the evening while the rain came down as did thunder and lighting. I considered going out to celebrate St. Patrick's but it was too rainy that I don't really want to risk it. So it is a nice evening in. I am trying to figure out classes for the Fall
