Last week my communication professor invited all her students to her apartment for dinner and drinks. She's also doing an exchange as a teacher, as she is normally teaching at Northern Arizona State in Flagstaff. It was a kind gesture to invite all her students and cook for them as well! We ate a super good, super healthy meal with plenty of vegetables and fruits (which we happen to lack in our daily lives here).
Here I met a girl studying through another program here in Bilbao, but also taking classes through my program as well. As we got to talking I find out she's studying Chemical Engineering. I asked her if that's hard to study abroad with such a strict curriculum. I don't think I know of any UMaine Engineers who have studied abroad for this reason. However, she went on to tell me that she was able to take some of her required engineering classes here in Spain. I thought, wow that's awesome she was able to find a program with so many classes offered to her, but come to find out she's taking an engineering class taught in Spanish.
That bitch got balls to sit through a science class babbled off in Spanish. So I asked her if she was learning anything, and she replied yes because she had the English version of the textbook. Well lucky her because otherwise that sounds like a mess. I have no idea how I would take tests or ask questions about formulas or numbers if it was all in Spanish. Not like I have any clue about math and science in English either though.
