Last First Day of School

And so it begins…

I had my first two classes today. Both of them were lit classes and both had a lot of gringos in them. My first class was El Boom which is Spanish American literature from 1960s and 1970s. It’s with one of the professors that I had last semester. I don’t think he remembered my name but he remembered my face. He was pretty surprised to see a gringa from last semester. Not very many people come back in fall. My next class was Literatura Femenina. I wasn’t so sure about that class at first. I basically signed up for it because I needed lit classes and it fit in my schedule. Now I think it’s going to be actually a really good class although lots of reading. The professor introduced the class with the question “You all like to read, right?” I think it was more of a warning: if you take this class, you’re going to be doing a lot of reading. Even so, hopefully it’ll be an interesting class. I bought both of packets for my classes. I love how cheap they are! Only $16 for both classes! I still need to buy three novels though.

After class, I went to reactivate my cell phone. As I was walking to the Movistar store, I hear someone yelling, “Hello! How are you?” Just out of habit, I ignored until I realized it wasn’t accented like when the guys yell it. I turned and looked. It was one of the professors, the one that helps UW students register. Oops! I felt so bad. He just laughed. Anyways, my cell phone can now send and receive phone calls and text messages. And yeah! It didn’t cost me anything to reactivate it. If anyone would like to call or text me, the number is 00-593-9-824-0612. It doesn’t cost me anything! ;-) I think there might be a way to send text messages over the internet. I’ll have to look in to that. I know you could with Bell South but who knows what else Movistar changed?

Ugggg… I have class at 7:00am tomorrow! Which means I need to leave about 6:15! And I don’t get done with classes until 4pm! Tuesdays are going to be really long days…
