Goodness, I have so much studying to do! I have 4 exams within 2 days next week, each worth 20% of my grade in the class. I'm especially nervous because for history and literature our exams will only have 3 questions, with the format: "Explain to me about..". And the topics are basically chapters in our book for history, and VERY broad, stuff like, "Explain to me about the history of Islam." Ahhh! Then for art history, our professor will show us 3 architectural images, and we have to go in depth describing EVERYTHING. Who built it, what century, why, what the arcs are called, every material used, religious significance, vocabulary, etc. Grammar will just be hard because it's an advanced grammar class. Let's just say next Tuesday I'll be relieved.
Last night was hard for me, I think a lot of the stress and frustrations and homesickness caught up to me. But after few hugs from friends I felt better. Tonight I had my first service project meeting/orientation. It was so exciting, I made my first Spanish friends! Their names are Maria and Chano, and they are best friends. We are hanging out with them tomorrow night. Their Spanish was so much harder to understand because of the Sevillana accent and speed and slang, but I think spending time with them will help my Spanish improve. :)
