The beginning

Today is the first official day of school. Thus we arrive at 8:15 to meet with an assigned group of 8 people, attend classes from 9:30 - 3:00, then Spanish from 3:30 until 5pm and then we're done. Each night we complete a case analysis for all three classes and work on our Spanish. I met with the group last week. I think I am a lucky guy, the other members are very interesting and I think we will work together very well. There is a Canadian, Brazilian, Chilean, German, American, Indian, Spaniard, and a Polish girl. Can you determine who is who? All come from great backgrounds and have a unique perspective to add as we discuss our cases.

Last week we had our intro courses along with a lot of information about our personality types and we spent a vast amount of time thinking about our career paths and working on our CVs (Europeans call a resume a CV - basically they're the same thing).

I bought a moto two weeks ago and it has been running very well. Its a Honda Lead 100. Look up the reviews if you'd like. Its not super fancy but it is cool, quick, and agile allowing me to weave in and around just about everything on the road. On a given day, I break at least 500 American traffic laws. That translates into bending about 3 Spanish traffic laws. Apparently moto drivers can do just about whatever they want so long as we just keep moving forward. Too bad life doesn't work the same way.

More info on my personality test later, I was shocked at the accuracy. Tessa thought she might have written the same thing. But now time to prepare for classes.

By the way, we did go to Oktoberfest only 10 days ago. It was quite simply the largest drunkfest ever. Wow wow wow, did we have fun. It was all about beer, singing, pretzels, and fun.
