Autumn?! and my Timetable.

I think that Autumn has finally arrived in Códoba! Which basically means that before I leave the house at 8 in the morning I have to choose between wearing three-quarter length trousers or jeans. I have, until now, always gone for the former because by noon the temperture still manages to creep up to around 30ºC! Oh well, shouldn't complain! Luckily my department (La Facultad de Filosofía y Letras) tackles the heat heroically, and so the classrooms remain comfortably cool.

Speaking of classes, I have FINALLY ( after three weeks of messing around) managed to organise my timetable. This semestre (until February) I'm taking;

  1. Spanish Lexigraphy (the history of the art or practice of defining Spanish words)
  2. Spanish Phonetics and Phonology (which is really interesting but, by Allah, it's solid!)

  3. Theory and Practise of Spanish Language

  4. Archeology

  5. Specialized Translation (Spanish > English)

And next semestre (February - June);

  1. Theory and Practise of Spanish Language

  2. Specialized Translation (Spanish > English)

  3. Dubbing and Subtitling

  4. Literary Translation (English > Spanish)

  5. Translation of Newspapers (English > Spanish)

Bit of a mouthful, but there you go. I'm fairly pleased with it, but I'm not looking forward to the exam period, I can tell you!
