First days of classes

Well, classes have started and so far so good. I haven't been kicked out of any classes yet for inability to speak well enough and in fact I've been able to understand more or less what's going on. The one exception is my laboratory transformadores y motores electricas. Sure the title is easy enough to read but it's definitely the most difficult since all of the instructions are given verbally and I don't even know the names of the equipment in English. The craziest thing is that we're dealing with a lot of voltage and amperage and I don't really want to connect the wrong things... I told my groupmates to tell me if I'm going to kill myself, so that should help. I was cracking up pretty good though when we were reading about the stuff that had exploded in the lab and this one guy that got electrocuted... ok moving on.
So this school rocks! My class sizes are all under 30 and in fact in my systems modelling class there are only 9 students! I paid for all of my textbooks today for a total of about $150. Also, there are only eight students in the laboratory at one time, so the instructor can actually help you out... and hopefully stop me from getting shocked. Another cool thing is the project course. I work directly under a professor on a real-world project. The project I've been assigned to is in the field of aeronautics for the company Icktar. Can't wait!
