First Day of School

Today was my first day of school ! Finally, probably most of you are thinking lol. My semester in Spain is a lot different then in Canada as we start much later than Laurier, and finish later than usual (not til the end of April, as opposed to the end of March).

I had only one class today at 11am until 1245. It was International Business. My professor's name is Jorge Mongay, and he was born and raised in Barcelona. He has many letters after his name from all the degrees he's obtained from all over the world (USA, UK, Switzerland, Spain etc). He has worked as a consultant for a company travelling all over the world and working in the area of International Trade and Exports. He's very nice and quite funny, and I think im really going to enjoy his class. He seems very eager to help students learn, and just talk to them about anything that interests them, whether it be international business or what bars to go to in Barcelona. He repeatedly said that he would be happy to sit down for a "café con leche" (coffee with milk) and just chat about whatever. In class today we just did introductions, first our professor gave a background on his life and career thus far, and then we had to introduce ourselves, and then afterwards we watched a quick youtube video that was about international change and shifts in technology, people, languages and countries. It was very interesting.

Tomorrow I have a busier day... International Marketing and Spanish. I will be in school between 11am - 545pm. Hopefully those classes go well too!
