Mis Clases Comenzar

¡Hola Amigos!
Classes have finally begun. This semester I’ll be taking Salvadorian Literature, Theologies of Liberation, Sociology, Spanish, and the Praxis Seminar. I’m very excited about all these classes. The Literature and Sociology classes are taught all in Spanish so they will be challenging. All the teachers do speak English, though, so if I don’t understand something they can explain the lecture after class. I think my Sociology and Theology classes will be particularly interesting. Sociology will focus on how Salvadorian newspapers skew the news and how this affects the people. Theology will be interesting just because the teacher, a nun (Sr. Peggy) from the Bronx, is crazy. She is very energetic, which is good since the class is 3 hours. Pretty much the class focuses on religion in the lives of Salvadorians. All the classes revolve around El Salvador’s recent civil war.

Paz,
Stephanie
