First Day of School!

Today was my first day of school as a big girl attending the University of Sevilla.  What to wear, what to wear!! My first class, Spanish Cinema, started at 9am.  Sarah and I much prefer university classes to our intensive ISA course already, as it's only half the walk. I couldn't miss out on a Barry First Day of School tradition, so here you go, Mom:

Classes are 2 hours long, and right now I am signed up for 7.  So I had class from 9am-7pm today.  I am really, really excited to drop 3 of them and get down to a normal course load.  But hey, who am I to complain...the University of Sevilla is basically Hogwarts.  It's gorgeous.  Picture a very tasteful, classical art museum, then add a few classrooms.  We took some promo pics...
"OhemGEE this is MY favorite 300-year-old fountain here, TOO!"

Check facebook for the rest of my University of Sevilla ads!  All of my classes are completely, 100% in Spanish...and I'm going to be just fine.  It's possible that the 2 hour periods spent in desk chairs from the 1930s could get a liiiiiiittle old, but right now I'm concentrating too much on what's going in front of me to think about that.  I accomplished my first day without getting lost in a 500-year-old building...so yeah, I'm a big deal.
