So this week has kind of been a mess. We were supposed to start University classes on Monday but apparently it was the opening day of the University (aka some kind of ceremonial day) and there weren't classes. So I just had my one class through the UNC program. Tuesday was supposed to be the official start of classes, but the one class I did have that day the professor walked in and said there wouldn't be class until Monday and then he left. So I walked 30 minutes down to the University only to be told that I didn't have class. Then a couple of us exchange students spoke with the professor and told him that we were from the US and our program ended in December so we would need to take the exam early (Spanish students take exams in the end of January). He told us he wasn't sure if that were possible so we would have to wait until Monday of next week for him to find out. So I'm not sure I'll even have that class.
Today was a general strike in Spain. Here's a link to an article about a strike held back in June (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/09/2922107.htm). I'm not sure really what the strike was about other than it had to do with a change in employment laws and something about budget cuts. Which meant that today we also didn't have class (besides our classes through the UNC program). So tomorrow will be my first day of University classes I suppose. We'll see how it goes. I have one UNC course tomorrow at 9:30am then a University class at 1pm. Then Friday I have a UNC course at 9:30am and a UNC course at 11:15am.
Saturday morning we are leaving to go to Granada. We are staying overnight because Granada is about a 3.5 hour bus ride from Sevilla. We get to do a tour of the sites in Granada and then do a little exploring on our own. I'm excited---I've heard nothing but GREAT things about Granada and the Alhambra there.
Sorry this has been such a boring post, hopefully I'll have something more excited to share by the end of the week! :)
