In response to yesterday's interviews about tv, our class went to have a debate with a lower level class. I was asked to summarize yesterday's article for both classes (why am I always the one to get called on?!) We debated whether social media, in particular facebook, has a postive or negative influence. We were each assigned different roles, such as student, parent, consumer,etc. I was assigned the role of psychologist, so I was "en contra de" (against) facebook. Although I have a facebook account, it is definitely something I could live without. I like it because it allows me to keep in touch with those who I met in Mexico last summer, for example.
Before beginning the debate, we watched a segment of a telenovela (soap opera), watched the four most popular commercials from 2010, and then watched a music video on youtube. It is called "No te metas a mi facebook" and I found it hillarious! It's pathetic that the negativities the song points out are actually true.
Tomorrow my class is going on a field trip to San Jose por tren (by train). We will either be visiting the University or will be going to museos. I hope we go to the museums. At least I will have something more exciting to comment about tomorrow!
Random information of the day: In the United States, drivers flash their lights for the person in front of them to speed up. I've seen several flashings of headlights on my way to and from school and when I complained to my professor about how many honks I get, she informed me that when a male driver flashes his lights at a pedestrian, this is representative of winking. Que interesante.
Other random sidenotes: Our teacher returned our written homework from last night today, and mine had a sparkly sticker on it. This probably means nothing to any of you, but I was excited and thought "Oh, she gives out stickers just like Dr. Davis!!" A little nostalgia of Flagler, I guess you could say.
I am becoming a regular at Cosechas. Their batidos (smoothies) are the best!! I wonder if they could open a franchise in St. Augustine??
Also, we got a new student in our class today. So instead of three, there are now four of us. Wow, such a HUGE class. haha. So now, I am no longer the only female in the class, not that that really bothered me much when I was the only girl.
¡Hasta mañana!
