Learning...

Today will be our last day of our review classes for our final level test tomorrow.  I have enjoyed these classes, but am very much looking forward to our break, and then for our real classes to begin!  As of now, I am taking a geography of Spain class, a Spanish Literature class, an Islamic culture class, and our required grammar and conversation classes.  

Besides are classes this semester, we are required to attend "Granada Seminar" classes with José every couple weeks.  These will be very interesting because we will be learning about things like the history of bullfights, tapas, and dancing.  Tonight we have a flamenco seminar, which I am very excited for.  

Another way we will be learning during the semester will be through our "movie nights" that we will have once a month.  We had our first one the other night where we watched "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore.  I hadn't seen or heard of it before, but it was a very interesting documentary that I would definitely recommend watching about Global Warming.  

I've noticed that the people of Spain are very environmentally aware, and watching this movie made me want to be too.  Here, we are very careful with the amount of water we use (the previous years have been very dry here in Spain), and we also try not to use much electricity.  Recycling is important in all our houses, and many people walk around the city rather than drive.  

I've been learning a lot already since I've been here, and am getting ready for more classes and traveling. :)
