Day 5: First Day of School

My housemates decided to walk to campus today. It took 45 minutes. Good exercise, good way to get aquainted with the town, never again. Mostly this is because I feel like I can spend my time better if I take a 10 minute bus ride for less than 200 collones (less than $.50) instead of a 45 minute walk.
That said, I´m glad I did it once. We got to campus and I went to see what class I was placed in. 203, Intermediate Spanish, which is the class I originally signed up for. That was nice to find out. So I went to the classroom, which is no bigger than a storage closet.
There are ten of us in the class. No one else from Winthrop though. Class was easy today, we did mostly review. After a short, 20 minute, break we went to the conversation part of the class.
After class I met up with the Winthrop kids and some of us went to a restaurant across the street for lunch.
After lunch and a trip to the computer lab on campus, I went to a bookstore in the Outlet Mall (which is not really an outlet mall) and bought a notebook for class.
Then, I took a bus back to the house, did some homework, ate supper, hung out for a bit, finished my homework, then went to bed.
