Day One!

Classes started today! I was soooooo excited for my classes today and they definitely lived up to my expectations! On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have the Traffic of Women in Contemporary Cinema and Mexico and Immigration. Plus, my ILP (International Leadership Program) Seminar on Tuesdays.

The Trafficking class was soooooo good! I'm SO EXCITED about it! The professor is currently writing a book on the subject so she's very up-to-date and knowledgable on the issues. It's a film based class, so on Monday nights we meet from 7-10 and watch a movie and then discuss the films and other readings in class tues/thurs.

My Mexico class was great too :) The professor is fantastic and I'm really excited to have him. It is a continuation of the ILP program (with the Brazil class in the fall and this one in the spring) so we have all the same people in the class, which is so much fun. We're a really close-knitted group and it was so fun to see them all again.

And then during the ILP Seminar, the professor said that they are in the preliminary stages of planning a trip to Wash. DC for us!! We would leave right after finals and be there for four days. We are all SOOOOO excited :D

So there's my update on day one! Ive got three more classes tomorrow and then I'll have a better feel for how crazy this semester will be... currently looking like a LOT of readings. Ah well :)
