Monday

Tuesday Afternoon



12:00 - 13:00
     After we finish the 3 hours long lecture, I get to have an hour's worth of break before my next slot of lessons; 2 hour Spanish seminar. (I forgot to mention that I study Spanish and International Relations, in case you were confused!)
     In this hour I usually don't get much done, besides looking over Spanish homework to remind myself what I did for that seminar and eat my lunch in the Hub. Now, there isn't a certain lunch that I normally have, although I have sandwiches pretty much every Tuesday, they are different all the time. Some people have the very popular jacket potato with cheese and beans, or mashed potato, or anything else that is served at the canteen. At the canteen there tends to be quite a variety of foods, every day, to delight everyone with different gastronomical preferences. The prices are acceptable, because, at the end of the day, we are students and we don't have much money to spend!
     Sometimes, I start to read in my lunch hour, to relax myself and escape my busy day for a bit, although,  having to eat as well, it doesn't give me much time to read.

13:00-15:00
     After my lunch I go to my seminar, usually accompanied by one of my friends which I find in the Hub. The seminars are usually very interactive, but also, based more on the reading and writing skills than the communicating ones. Our teacher speaks to us in Spanish, most of the time, because this first module requires it. My fellow classmates are friendly and open to working in groups or discussing themes together. They are mostly quite shy when it comes to talking in Spanish though, but I find it quite exciting, because I love the Spanish language very much.

15:00-16:00
     Right after the Spanish seminar, I have to run to another building, that tends to be 7 minutes away from the building where I had my Spanish seminar, to get to my International Relations seminar. This seminar only lasts one hour and it is quite fun because it is only me and the teacher in the room. I know it sounds odd and it is even odd for my teachers to just have a seminar with one student, but I was the only one that couldn't go to the other seminar groups, because of my busy timetable on Tuesdays. I guess this will change in the Second semester but I just have to wait and see.
     In this seminar we discuss more the theoretical things related to what we learn in lectures, but in the International Relations lectures, we learn more on how these theories have been and are applied to the Nations before and the Nations nowadays.
