So I have one class at a private Spanish university (Universidad San Pablo CEU). Now, private in Spain isn't like private liberal arts schools in the states. They are pretty much designed to catch the kids who aren't accepted at the much more prestigious (and basically free) public universities, as well as kids from very rich, conservative families who dislike the socialist tilt of the public schools. So basically this a university full of rich, spoiled, conservative kids who either aren't smart enough or don't want to work enough to get into pubic universities. Fun times, right?
Right! Anyway, my class is about contemporary history (which is defined as post French Revolution (the professor spent most of the first class explaining why the American revolution is neither part of nor important to contemporary history)). There is a textbook for the class, however as far as I can tell, no one has yet bought it (myself included). We have not had homework yet in the six weeks of class. There are no reading assignments. No one comes to class and punctuality is apparently not considered very important. And, of course, there is a large crucifix on the wall of the class.
Conclusion: Private education in Spain is awesome.

Oh man, that sounds like Evergreen for conservatives.
I kid, I'm past my ass in political economy and post structural theory (in the same class?).
Yeah. Pretty much. Everyone seems pretty nice...but really uninterested in their studies. I would think Evergreen students have more passion. Hard to say. What's this about no school next year and New Orleans? Sounds amazing. Miss you much!
