You read it right, my glass is half full. Why?? Well here briefly is the half empty glass. I have been studying like crazy the last couple weeks. I even went to a friends house and studied until 4 in the morning. I have been doing extra projects and retaking exams like crazy. Remember how I mentioned in my last blog that I had 6 exams to take. Well I have taken some of them. I passed 3 of them. However, I failed my exam for Art. This means, I failed Art. I camp believe I failed an art class. Anyway, my glass is half full.
For my Cultura Popular class, we were supposed to go to a fútbol game a few weeks ago. With my luck it got canceled due to rain (which they never cancel stuff due to rain). They suspended the game until Wednesday, and then changed it again to this Tuesday. Tuesday, I am supposed to re take my first test that I failed for Art. Lucky for me, I failed the second test too, which means I fail the class for sure. Now I am free and get to go to the fútbol game. I also had two projects to do for art by Tuesday, not to mention studying for the test. Now, I don´t have to do those either. And what is supposed to be my last week here, I now have completely free because I will not be allowed to sit for the Art final.
So I made a poor decision to take a contemporary art class instead of a public relations class here. The Art class drove me crazy all semester, but I gave everything I had. The teacher failed me, SO WHAT!! I have learned more spanish than anybody else on this trip, so I am satisfied. And now I can take something fun at SMU like a ceramics class or something. My art teacher did have a little bit of a heart. She told me that I could take my exam in english. I know she was trying to be nice and give me the best chance to past, but I took it as an insult. She insulted my level of spanish by not having any hope in me. It was the 700 pages of advanced spanish I was supposed to read each night that was the problem, and the fact that she has a gift. She not only speaks a mile a minute, she speaks 10 miles a minute, so when I asked her to slow down it was still 5 miles a minute.
I am going to a fútbol game, don´t have to take 2 exams, don´t have to sit through 3 more hours of torture in class, I have a whole week free at the end of November, and I can take a class at SMU like ceramics or something. Would of should of could of taken Public Relations which was a lot easier of a class, but it is too late now. I challenged myself unlike those who took the easy way out. Now lets just hope I pass my final for Cultura Popular Friday. After that, SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!! Haha because it is summer here.
