We meet everyone in the mornings at 9am in the Common Room of the Residence Onix. Our Spanish language class is a combination of traditional classroom time with experiential learning time out in the community. Our Spanish teachers give us activities which helps us engage with the locals in various ways which usually helps raise language and culture awareness. We break for lunch at noon and we get to eat with our friends at our choice of restaurants around the neighborhood. After lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we have our elective classes. Afternoon elective classes include: Spanish Conversation, Digital Marketing, Sports, Digital Photography, Art History and Drawing. Elective classes are held in cool places around town. We do field trips to interesting places to draw and learn art history, take photos, have informal conversations, learn about the marketing world and/or play sports. Everyday we have two hours of down time between 5pm to 7pm. This is a time when we can hang out at the roof top pool with friends, workout, take naps or do laundry. In the evenings, we take the metro or walk to local monuments and plazas to eat dinner. WE WALK AROUND A LOT: 25,000 steps to 35,000 steps daily according to the Health App on our iPhones. We return back to our rooms at 11:30pm and we are ready for night time check-in. We rest for the night and begin everything again the next day!
