10:30 a.m.: Leave for school, walk 12 minutes to the subway and get off three stops later, then walk ten more minutes to school.

11:25 a.m.: I mark my own attendance through an app for the University. I am allowed seven absences in order to pass my classes. International students use these absences to travel. 

11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.: I sit in my Social and Political Changes in Latin America class. I take notes throughout the class as it is a lecture-style class.

5:25 p.m.: I mark my attendance. 

5:30 p.m. -.7:00 p.m.: I have my Oral Production class. This is a class to improve my Spanish so I must talk only in Spanish about the chosen topic for the week. We do not take notes in this class; it is all talking!

11:00 p.m. - 12:30 a.m.: I get ready for bed and then watch TV or read for a little while.
