Tonight was the first class for my second semester of Spanish. I registered for this particular class period because my instructor from last semester was teaching it, and because my study partner from last semester had also registered for it. At class tonight, however, I found out that my previous instructor had resigned, and my study partner was no longer in the class. Bummer.
My new instructor is from Mexico. This is a good thing in that I'll get more practice listening to the accent of a native speaker. This is a bad thing in that I have a hard enough time trying to figure out what she's saying in Spanish; struggling to figure out what she's saying in English too is not helpful.
My new classroom isn't in the basement this time, so it's actually been painted and is reasonably clean. Unfortunately, it's also very small and has no air circulation. I'm not particularly claustrophobic, but it was making me uncomfortable anyway.
I seriously considered transferring to the class of an instructor who substitute taught for my last class. I liked him a lot, but he's teaching a 7:00-9:00 class. The 7:00-9:00 class almost killed me with sleep deprivation last semester, which is why I switched to the 5:00-7:00 class I'm in now. I'm in the only 5:00-7:00 class, so I can either take a class from an instructor I like in a time slot that will make me crazy, or I can take a class in a time slot I like from an instructor that will make me crazy. I guess I'll just stick it out and see what happens.
