We took our placement test at 10:00 in the morning. Consisting of grammar, listening comprehension, and an essay, it turned out to be a test that was meant to monitor our growth over the course of the program as we will take the same test at the end of the ILP program.
Like first week of freshman year, ever one is social and excited to start a conversation. Last night I had joined a large group of the other students and we wandered around the Plaza del Toros and El Centro, two important and vibrant sections of the city. We ended up eating at a restaurant that was a little more touristy than we would have liked but its always to difficult to decide on a place with a large group. I had a good time talking and becoming acquainted with everyone.
After the siesta, we had a brief orientation in which we discussed the weekly class schedule and were given maps of the city along with the University of Granada handbook. We were then introduced to our "monitores," University of Granada students who would show us around Granada and help us buy a cell phone and other things we needed. Their job is basically the same one that I had this summer as the activity leader/camp counselor for a group of 60 students from China. I'm enjoying being on the opposite side of the coin. Our montiores took us around Granada and showed us where the different "facultades" (colleges) are located throughout the city. My political science facultad is right in the center of the city.
