second week

Soooo already in the second week of classes and time is flying! It definately is going quick, but good thing we still have over three months to go! We have been doin a lot of work for this week. We had to paint city plans that we create, and had a project for our sketching class due on tuesday. The studio work isnt to bad, it is just stuff that we have never done before so its not that good, but oh well. We basically have to take a given part of a city, and create the rest of it from what we know, which isnt much right now but it is getting better.

The sketching project came out really good, i was really happy with it. It took a lot of time but was definately worth it. Next week in that class we get to start looking at the history of the city starting with roman ruins! How cool is that! I am pretty excited, i love to see all the old ruins that peope discover underneath the existing city. SO that should be a lot of fun.

Spanish class.....well lets just say i can understand about 3/4 of what he says but i feel very stupid in the class because i cant seem to speak it back! Oh well, by the end my goal is to be able to keep a legitimate conversation up. We will see how that goes.

And, i did my laundry for the first time here yesterday, and boy is that a pain! There are no dryers, and water costs a ton. SO basically i had a lot of clothes that i have been rewearing because we have to and now they are taking over my room being hung to dry. I even overflowed into laying things out in the living room because my room is just not big enough! Oh well, we will get used to it i guess. Its just crazy getting used to the fact that electricity and water cost so much more here than at home. Its a good thing to get used to, so at home maybe we can be more economical, but i am definately not used to it yet.


We have been roaming a lot around the city. We went to the top of one of the mountains, and have just kind of been exploring and seeing where we are living and what not. The collage on the side is just showing everyone me and the city and me in the city! Sorry it took so long to get it posted, hope you like looking at them!
Alright, well i think it is time i maybe try to post some pictures on here so i am going to go do that and then possibly do some work.
