Hoy es un día lluvioso. Today is a rainy day. And I love it. As long as I don’t have to walk in it for longer than 20 minutes. I really do love the rain, and a rainy Granada is always a beautiful sight. The rain is always a thing of cleaning and refreshment; literally, metaphorically, metaphysically.
Last night, my 4th class for this semester began. French. Taught in Spanish. I absolutely loved every second of the two hours of it. It’s a very small intimate class – only 5 of us students total, most born in Granada. It’s a lively class too, even though it takes place from 8pm to 10pm . The prof is amusing and, in this first class, explained many of his opinions on life, music, literature and astrology through the clever use of les listes blanche et noire (the white and black lists). On the liste blanche is English and American culture, the Zodiac signs Cancer and Libra, the Spanish singer Camela y the director Woody Allen. On the liste noire is Celine Dion, English as a language, the Zodiac sign Scorpio and the Spanish soccer team Real Madrid (him being from Barcelona). From this I learned that I should be a Sagittarius, starts learning a bunch of things - never quite finishing them, travels a lot, and trips.
But the best part about the entire class, was that they all though I was from Granada. =D
We will just all have to wait to see if I’ll have a life after I start my 5th and final class at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (College of Philosophy and Letters) for my History of Spain class. That will make 4 classes (a total of 7 hours) every Monday and Wednesday and 2 hours of History on Fridays.
