Hungarian survival language school is over. On the last day, there were about 20 people compared to over 40 on day 1... We did these skits in Hungarian, which was actually really fun and amusing. I am glad I stuck with going to Hungarian language school (although after staying out til 3:30 one night, that next morning was rough...). I met people through it and bonded with my class and learned some useful things, like how to read entertainment guides in Hungarian!
The course schedule finally came out and in the most amazing stroke of luck with no planning and just going with the classes I originally wanted to take, I have no Friday class. Three day weekends EVERY WEEKEND. All of Europe, here I come! It will be awesome. And two people who I have become friends with here who live right near me are taking all the same math classes (and one is in my Hungarian as well) so I have a traveling study group. My math classes will almost definitely be Combinatorics, Number Theory, and Abstract Algebra. I am excited. There are so many other awesome classes I would love to take, but it's just not possible to take 20 classes while here. I will also be taking Hungarian and a cultural class about the Holocaust. Most people are required to do 3 math classes and Hungarian but CMC requires 3 math, Hungarian, AND a cultural course. I think the Holocaust class I picked out will be really interested but it means I have about an extra 5 or 6 hours of my week tied up, which is kinda of a pain but oh well. It will also be mostly people from a different study abroad program that shares our cultural courses so I'll meet different people, which will be kinda nice. The worst thing about my schedule is that I have 8 AM class 3 days a week (4 days a week to start since there's a Monday morning review class or the first three weeks). Not only have I never had an 8 AM class in college, it's about a 30-40 door to door commute to get to school. So it will not be many late nights on week nights for me...
Tonight is a 21st birthday party for one of the girls in my language class. It will be really fun- basically my whole program is going to dress up and drink some wine to celebrate and then whoever wants to will go to the dance club right across the street. I am excited! Although I will probably freeze... I am wearing a dress I have for "California winter" and tights and open toed shoes... and it's probably like 35ish? If that? And who knows how long we'll have to wait outside for the night bus... What an adventure!
