Travel Plans: Update

So, I have updated some of my travel plans. I have scheduled flights to Barcelona on the weekend of the 14th and Amsterdam on the 28th. I am still discussing with my fellow study abroad-ers as to what we should do from here. I have narrowed it down to London, Paris, Rome, and Athens (I think!). Don't hold me to it.
Well, tomorrow I have my final for my intensive Spanish grammar class that has been 95% a waste of time considering I already have an A in a course with the exact same title back at the U of O. Spending three hours a day listening to my teacher drill us one-on-one was not very fun and I think I spent more time asleep in there this week than I have in my bed (just adding up all of the times my head almost hit my desk from dosing off). I also am not too worried about this final considering I did not study for my midterm and got an 87. Not that the grade matters much anyway with having already taken the class.
I got my schedule today, it is as I posted in another blog but has now been finalized. I am taking three at La Universidad de Sevilla and one at the CIEE Study Center. The image of Spain on the Cinema Screen (MW 9-11), Spanish and Latin American Literature of the Margins (MW 17-18.40)(CIEE Class), Spanish American Literature (TR 13-15), and also the Writing and Composition of Texts (TR 11-13).
I am hoping that the rumors I have heard about courses at the University being easier than others is true, I would love that sooooooooooo much. As much as I like school it is really starting to get annoying with the unnecessary and completely irrelevant assignments/lectures that continue to waste a lot of my time. Now I just need to get my syllabi and email them to my Spanish advisor (who never returns emails) to verify that these courses will transfer towards my major requirements.

INCASE YOU ARE WONDERING R=THURSDAY... idk if that is obvious or not

Well, I am going to go write my essay right now on the Museum of Fine Arts here in Spain. In case you are wondering I am going to talk about how pretty the architecture is, and how I didn't like that the entire museum was religion-themed. What I really want to write is how I might have enjoyed the museum had I not been required to go and if I hadn't needed to write notes on the paintings instead of look at them. But I can't really tell my teacher the truth about how I feel about her at this point either.

Hasta Luego

p.s. I'll do blogs tomorrow after I finish my final
