i am starting to feel really bad that i have nothing interesting to post on here. the highlight of my day was the kitten walking around my shoulders as i made my morning tea. the train was (thankfully) uneventful, spanish class was also not particularly exciting. we went to a crappy sandwich place for lunch, that literally drenched my sandwich in either mayo or a butter-mayonnaise mix, which i also over payed for. the other class was slightly more interesting, a lecture on Argentine literature, led by some academic of literature. we are never really introduced too thoroughly with out presenters, and if we are i miss it due to the language barrier. anyways the guy was young and seemed cool, basically a classic English Major (though i suppose here it would be a Spanish Major) turned teacher.
we went through the three major phases of Argentine literature, from the José Hernández Gaucho period to Borges with his fantastical short stories, to more modern avant-garde stuff.
and after this lecture we went home to work on our projects, mine was on the Falklands Crises/Malvinas war, i threw together a powerpoint presentation for use on friday or monday.
i managed to get to sleep early.
