Monday
My first class on Monday is Spanish. I practice speaking in Spanish with a teacher from 10:00am to 11:00am, who corrects my grammar and teaches me new words or sentence structures. This class is held at our house.
After lunch, we catch an Uber to 72nd street and Broadway, to get to another class. This class is called 'Understanding History Through Music'. From 1:00pm-3:00pm we look at music in America, starting from the beginnings of the slave trade, and see how the music in America is a mix of styles brought over by people from different countries.
Our final class on Monday is Chess with Maxim. In this class we work with an international grandmaster, Maxim Dlugy, who teaches us all we need to know (and more) about chess. We do this class at East 81 street, at his house.

Tuesday
On Tuesdays we have 3 classes- 'Espionage' being the first class, 'Books in the 60's the 2nd, and controversies the last.
In 'Espionage' we look at spies throughout history that have changed the world, from the ancient Egyptians to Francis Walsingham. This class is held at the Jefferson Market Library, between 12:45pm-2:15pm
We catch the train to 50th street to get to our next class- 'Books in the 60's'. In this class we read and discuss books written in the 60's. This class is held in Different Directions.
After 'Books in the 60's', we stay in Different Directions for the final class, 'Controversies'. This class is very noisy, because here we discuss all the controversies that the whole class thinks matter. I think this class is interesting, especially listening to other people's opinions.

Wednesday
On Wednesday we do our first online course of the week, 'Romeo and Juliet'. In this class we read and annotate Romeo and Juliet, and go over the whole book with a new perspective. We mostly do this class at home, but it may vary.
My favorite class at last!!
Rugby, mostly an Australian/New Zealand sport, has a few teams of its own in New York! I am currently playing Rugby with the under 12 team, for last year i obtained a pretty serious injury that took three or four months to heal. Before there were no other girls on the team (or on any team!) But this year there will be quite a few! I got to meet one who had played previously on the team. We were a great team!
