First Day of School

Just a quick update on my first day of classes, of which I only had two.

First, here is a photo of my Cabo-lookalike campus:

First, I went to my differential equations class, which was full (I got secretly added to the full class). The professor had a different accent, and the students would not stop talking! Ah, are we in middle school. However, each desk had squishy, swivel chairs so life was good. I followed it pretty well and I've already done some of this stuff in Calc 2 so we'll see.

Then, I had my Contemporary Hispanic American Lit class. I was kind of worried the professor was going to say, "You barely speak Spanish! Get out of here!" However, this professor was awesome, he was super funny and really nice. Plus, we are only reading 2 books, the rest will just be short stories and poetry, meaning I can totally read it (no banking on understanding it). We went around and introduced ourselves, and talked about our favorite books. I liked this guy too, because I could understand everything he said. People kept talking too, but not as much, and it was also more appropriate (though still unwelcome!) compared to my math class. I'm pumped to read some Borges!

Then I spent about 4 hours doing random stuff that needed to be done, plus hung out in our bomb bomb bomb library. It has hella books, I checked out Agatha Christie in Spanish, some Borges, some grammar workbooks, and many more books are going to be checked out when I have room in my purse. I stupidly forgot I was going to school here, so I don't have a backpack..or a calculator, now that I think about it..ugh.

Incidentally, before I start moaning about forgetting a backpack, taking the bus home, I saw the first dead body I've ever seen in life. It seems there was a motorcycle accident. I passed by in the bus, more delayed by traffic than usual, and there was just a blue tarp on a man lying on his stomach, yet only over his head. People just standing around, looking...and his shoes were off, his socks too.
