Classes are now in full swing. My schedule for the semester includes a full load of five classes. Three classes in Spanish-- Advanced Grammar, History of Catalonia through the Arts, and Barcelona: Past & Present-- are taught by teachers through CIEE (my study abroad program). Therefore, these classes are with other American students. The two classes in English -- Marketing Management and International Trade II -- are taught by ESCI ( Escola Superior de Comercial Internacional) teachers. ESCI is a specialized international business school for international students that are fluent in English. Therefore, these two classes are a mixture of American, Spanish, and international students from all over the world.
The world, however, is not that big! A girl that was in my class at MSJA is in my Marketing Management classes (seriously, what are the chances).
Besides classes, this weekend we took a trip to Tarragona with CIEE. Tarragona is the capital of Tarragona, one of the four provinces of Catalunya along with Barcelona, Lleida, and Girona. The ancient city of Tarragona dates back to 218 B.C. and ancient ruins fill the city. Julius Caesar even had a brief stay of two years in Tarragona while conducting a war with the Celts in northwestern Spain in the early 1st century A.D.
Following are some pictures!
