2º DAY IN COLLEGE: I DROPPED MARKETING


Today was better than yesterday. The weather was pretty better. It wasn't raining all the day like yesterday.
I  got up at 6.00, had a shower and had breakfast and then I walked 13 minutes to take the bus to the college. My books weight a lot. It took me 35 min to get the college. I got my classroom at 7:55 AM.
The class is suppose to start at 8:00 AM to 9:45AM (105 min). My teacher taught only 70 min. He always arrived late and finish soon. He is so lazy. So I decided to drop (dejar) Marketing (Marketing book is the heaviest, great¡¡) and get "American History: from 1877 until now" (two little books very light).  
I have to take advantage of my time ... and Chiquito de la Calada is so lazy for me. In that way I can try go to 2,5 courses and pay only two.

The classrooms are very simple but they have a very awesome system. The have an special whiteboard (pizarra blanca) but is a very big PC's monitor. When the teacher write on the whiteboard, he is writting in the PC and the computer show the writting (like the weather system on TV). Then they can file and send the class-notes to all the students. Great ¡¡¡ They don't have to take notes all the time.

I asked about the students club (to meet people). They told me that there are a lot. "Great ¡" I said. He reply: - But now in Summer season all the clubs are close....But there are tutor to help other students.
Today I was with one of them, it's great. I talk to her about half hour and is free ¡¡¡¡¡ I'm sorry for them I'm going to go every day. They are very charming.

After dinner I was to next door neigbours to exchange Spanish and English. I had a nice time. She speaks fluenctly spanish. After her husband jointed us to talk in English. He fancys USA History. On Friday 7:30 I have  poker in their house.

TODAY IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY IN USA & FISRT DAY IN COLLEGE

It was ok. I enrolled in two courses: Bussines and Marketing. The teacher is the same.
He looks like Chiquito de la Calzada, he walks like Chiquito ... I was all the class waiting and alert to listen to " ...and that sinner that goes for the prairie of United States (... y ese pecador que va por la pradera) Heahhhh¡¡¡¡"

But a Breaking New: I'm no the oldest in my class, no .... Chiquito es older than me. I understood him fairly well. I understood 70% when he speaks ... but when my classmates speak I don't understand more than 30% .... but It's OK is my first day.
