This has been my first full week in Barcelona and the start of all of my classes. I could not enjoy them any more! I like how my professors incorporate more learning experiences into the curriculum rather than making us memorize a bunch of facts. It makes the class more enjoyable and makes me more eager to learn. The one thing that I don’t like, however, is that the classes are an hour and 40 minutes long at a time. It is especially difficult for me to sit through that much class time because my M/W schedule is the same professor back to back and my TU/TH schedule is the same professor back to back. They give us breaks in between the 1 hour 40 minute sessions, in addition to the 20 minute break between classes, but it sometimes still drags on.
