Classes

Classes are going really well so far!

I have to wake up on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 to be at class at 8 and then I home around 6:30, its a long day!
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have Spanish at 1 to 4.

For my Core Seminar class we have a lot of readings to do but it's on some really interesting topics. Today we talked about colonization, neo colonization and poverty. We took this survey on poverty and it amazed me on some of the statistics. Did you know "Over 125,000 children die a week because of malnourishment" and "3 billion of the world's 6+ billion people live on less than $2 a day" These stats striked some really interesting reactions and good conversations in class.

I have had some really interesting bus rides so far! Oh my does the driving here make me nervous!!!! My mom tried to ask me if I had my license and if I could pick up my sister at church, little did I know she was just kidding and then we just started joking about how crazy the roads are here! They tend to not have any laws regarding the way you drive. So next time you think people drive ridiculous in the states, think again!!!! My bus driver yesterday was the worst! He was driving all over the road, going through red lights. It's incredible how close we get to another car without actually hitting it!

The streets are soooo crowded. People beeping, motorcycles cruising by, people selling fruit in the middle of the street, of people putting on a acrobatic show in the intersection for money while people wait at a red light, its crazy!

Today I figured that I probably spend about 10 bucks a week for buses, which isn't bad but I wish I was closer so I could walk, but I live way to far away from my classes to do that.
