First Day of Classes

Today, my "intensive" Portuguese classes began. They are supposed to go from 9-1pm, and I have them 5 days a week until the 30th. They ended at 10am today so in my extended free time I've gotten juice with another American, purchased cheap bikinis, explored a book store, and cleaned up a bit of the kitchen for the host family (yeah, I know, but I think people are always more considerate in other people's houses). I have a phone here but for some reason haven't activated it yet. I still have to cancel my account in the US, but am waiting to hear back from the bank on some things first.
I mostly logged in to share a few photos that I took from the CIEE office on campus, on the 7th floor of the administrative building. It's a great view of Lisbon.
I'm choosing classes right now - its a long process that I've been working on slowly for a few months now. The schedules finally came out.

Here are some pictures.




The people that you can see down here are having pastries and espressos. Even though classes don't start until the 30th, campus was relatively full today. The different schools are located in different areas of the city. All of my classes will be on this part of campus.

Off to explore and do homework. Tchauzinho!
