| | It's been a fruitful three days. A certain clusterfuck in enrollment left me trapped in one afternoon section, vying for a coveted spot in a morning class. To avoid absences in either class, I was taking in two hours of French per day. Which helped out quite a lot as a beginner. Thank goodness for my strong background in Spanish. Latin-based cognates are plentiful and surprising treasures among an otherwise foreign tongue. Today I was able to squeeze into the morning spot with a lovely lady from Senegal. I've also started piano! What a delightfully elementary class, a GREAT start for a non-musician like myself. They actually weeded out the showoffs and would-be Stravinskies, leaving plenty of room for the rest of us to practice basic C-chords and fumble around for black keys! Other courses include Central African, European Art 1789-1848, and Ancient Roman. Huzzah! |
