You Mean We Actually Have Class?

The tricky thing about living in another country for four months is that sometimes you forget you actually are there to do something, in this case study.

When we first arrived there were a slew of meetings, orientations, presentations, and city tours that we were obligated to attend. Class didn’t start for a week. Instead we passed the time exploring the city and traveling back and forth between the ISA office to the University of Belgrano for different meetings. I was getting use to the idea of continuing my three month winter break. Unfortunately I had to snap back to reality and start classes.

My School

My program offers the option of taking classes in either English or Spanish. This is great because it means I can understand what is going on in my English classes, but not so great because I only have classes with exchange students. While I have met people from Italy, France, Austria, and all over the States, I haven’t met any real Argentines at school. Either way, classes are easy and only meet once a week for two hours and every week is a three-day weekend, which has made traveling on the weekend that much easier.

My Class Schedule

• Spanish Grammar (Spanish)
• Globalization in Latin America (Spanish)
• Argentine Economic History (English)
• Political and Social Change (English)
