i went around shopping for classes today. i went to the san joaquin campus first and signed up for a poetry class, a couple poly sci classes and a history class. i couldn't get the portugese so i got all discouraged and went to campus oriente. on the bus ride over there i met a music professor who pointed me in the right direction. i talked to a lady in the music office who gave me stamps and signatures for bassoon lessons (!), music history I, and music of chile and the americas. as we are obligated to take the spanish and chilean culture classes, i'll probably end up dropping all the poly sci and poetry.
my friend will be here soon and we'll go look into how to get over the mountains to argentina for the weekend. if stuff is as cheap as i hear, i'll pick up a guitar.
