My friend Laura, who is studying in Costa Rice right now on a similar trip, asked how many days a week we have class and if we take weekend trips.
To answer her question, we have class monday through friday and take day-trips on the weekend. The only homework we really have to do is study for weekly vocab quizzes(3qz/week), two compositions for Pites, and a research paper at the end of Pites. Depending on your teacher, you might have to write two 150word compositions each wk, but mine has us write them in class and they're easy. Also, some teachers will ask you to finish grammar exercises at home, but they never take more than 10 minutes and aren't collected.
So far we've only taken two weekend trips(Segovia/Ávila, Sierra de Francia), but this weekend a bunch of us have gotten together and are excursioning to Santiago de Compostela(Saint James of the Field of Stars) in Galica, the northwestern-most province of Spain. We're going up tomorrow, staying in a hostel, and coming back Saturday evening. It'll be a nice change from the Andalucía in the south, which we got to know so well the first 9 days of the trip.
¡Hasta pronto!
Hey that's me! Haha. We have class four days a week from about 8 to 1. Compositions are pretty much the same, we do them in class. We usually have grammar homework but it isn't bad, but Vera likes to give pop quizzes a lot, haha.
