Soy una nerd

Today was the first day of class. I didn't think I'd be too excited about it, but they seem pretty cool thus far.

Of course the cinema class is going to be my fave at this point. And being the Film Studies major, I'm already the go to person whenever the profesora mentions a film: "Laura, tu has lo visto?" But I don't mind, since chances are, I probably have seen it.

Our literature professor is gonna make us work. But he's what I like to think of a passionate, animated, European professor of literature that thinks the literature of HIS own country is better than all others. Still, he's pretty entertaining.

Jamón, Jamón. For lunch we had sandwiches, apparently I was the only one willing to try the Jamón serrano, cured ham like prosciutto which again, is everywhere. Pretty good, a little salty but also cheap.

Weather is strange here. Partly cloudy with random bursts of rain. You go in the Metro and its raining. Come back out, its done. Que pasando?

Tonight the apt. girls split up in search of food. Judy, Danielle and I decided to drop by pizza place next to our building. We started up a conversation with a the guy working there. 25 years old, from Morocco, and his name is Bashir. Apparently Spaniards have trouble saying his name (bah-cheer instead of bah-sheer) Maybe he'll get to be a new local friend to say hi to on out way to school.
