Hey..so much is going on, and yet so much is still left to do..

My new Spanish teacher reminds me of my class 6 Sanskrit teacher - or actually, she's more like my class 11 Math teacher!
I used to hate both of them but not this one. She may be more strict and may lack humor, but I've learnt more Spanish in the last two days than I did in the last two weeks. Even though I feel bad about my old professor who had to leave, my priority is to learn the language. And if I manage to do well in these last three weeks that are left of this term, I think I will be ready for Spanish 2!

The big news is - I am going to go see the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS!!!
Yipppeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had seen them on TV ages ago when I was a kid and used to love basketball. These guys are just so cool and so much fun to watch. And I can't believe I'm going to see them live in front of me! I haven't been taking advantage of being in this far-away land, so I thought I deserve a fun night out with my childhood heros. It's funny how the first real event that I see in my new home is the globetrotters, and not a concert or something. I guess this is more fun...atleast I hope it will be.. :)

Another good news is that I might just be doing two courses with this professor I've been just desperately waiting to work with. She is just awesome! And she has started a new course for spring called Documentary Field Production - absolutely perfect timing! I am hoping it doesn't clash with any of my other classes. It should be fun!

And then Spanish 2 is in the afternoons - which means I don't have to get up early everyday - i.e. if I do decide to take it.

Registration for Spring courses begins tomorrow. There are also these two interesting courses for German and French cinema - but again, I will have to make sure they don't clash with my other courses, if I decide to take them.

I have been considering a few courses in Political Science too - there is "War and the State", "Terrorism/Political Violence", and "Politics through Fiction". I have given up on "Women's Stories/Women's Films" because I have given up on the professor who teaches it - the same one who is teaching me screenwriting this time. She may give me a strong foundation in writing, but I'm afraid she might stagnate me.

So things are looking up - somewhat. I still have four more shoots to go. The one on Saturday is in my very own apartment - and I happen to be the Art Director for it. I will decide on my Spring break destination in a day or two. I really want to go to NYC and stay there for a week. Fingers crossed!

My summer program is turning out to be quite a task - there are too many choices and I have no idea what to do. Should I stick to my initial plan of Granada, Spain or should I switch to Mexico or Puerto Rico or something else? I need professional help - I think I should talk to the Spanish Chair in my university.

I should go now - I have a short meeting and a long long class now. Will get home at 10PM.

Hasta luego mis amigos y mi hermana!
