School: Classes, even rockclimbing!

You might be thinking Wow does this girl ever go to school? Haha and the answer is Yes. I started school on August 4th and have now been going for 3 weeks longer than everyone else that starts on Monday. Good luck everyone starting school. I´m sure you guys dont care the details but I am really bored... I really like my classes. I have 2 classes to learn spanish- communication and grammar and we have lots of stupid busy work for homework but I´v learned a lot and my opinion is- that flashcards are the best way to learn something. Well the second best way, because I consider just hanging out and speaking spanish with my new friends studying haha becasue I learn how to say things in Spanish. I have 2 classes in English- International Business and Consumer Analysis. Sometimes I feel as if Im wasting my time becasue in my Consumer Analysis class we watch youtube videos and talk about the most random things ever. It is to help us observe people and discuss what motivates people to do what they do. Its interesting. I like it. I just got done with my first little group project for international business- we had to write an article on conterfeiting in China. Who knew that China makes and sells products that have brand names on them but are fake. I had no idea. I really like being in classes with students from all over the world, it helps me realize that I definately need to read the newspaper and be more aware of what is going on.
Exercise is the number one best anti-depressant. So if any of you are feeling down or just want to be pumped EXERCISE!! I always want to but Im usually too lazy. This leads me into my next 2 classes- Salsa dance and RoCk cLiMbInG. It is so fun. I love dancing! I wish i had rythm haha but nevertheless I still enjoy it. Rock climbing is such a challenge and you feel great when you get to the top.
Also, Monday I went running and tuesday i went with pocho to batting cages. I need to do more exercises even though its so hot here. Right now it is raining and its so great!!
