My fourth semester of classes

The present year its ending soon and my classes too :) , During my fourth semester of classes I Had to take 6 courses. One of them was the english 4 course, the highest english course for my studies program, it was fun but the course schedule horrible because the class started at 6 and a half PM a little late for me :( . Also the semester was wierd because it started during the middle of September and lasted until the end of December, it should have started during July but the students strike of the past semester changed the whole programation for this year, man I should be now enjoying my summer holydays but Im still having classes, anyway, we only have 2 weeks left to end the semester.
Looking at the whole picture of this fourth semester I think that I learned a lot of interesting theories and historic data related to arts, the literature class was amazing because we read some fantastic stories of Jorge Luis Borges the famous argentinian writer!, for the next year Im looking forward to take a lot of elective courses, it will be my third year of studies, time passes so fast when you think what have you done in the last months.

Arts and I

Since I was a kid I always wondered about arts, I still remember my arts classes at school, they were fun and exciting for me because sometimes we watched movies about artists, one of them was a movie directed by Salvador Dali. In this surrealistic movie Dali showed different sculptures and works of art (mainly panintings), this movie influenced heavily on me, since that day I wanted to know more about arts. Today I study theory and history of arts, in my studies program we learn about ancient to modern european arts history, aesthetics and a bit of philosophy.

G. Caillebotte. On the Europe bridge (1876)
In the near future I want to get a deeper study about ancient Roman art, maybe I will enroll in a postgradute course (masters level) in classical studies or literature because I like to read a lot.
