Classes

Well I have finally settled down into the classes I will be taking the rest of the semester, and it is a pretty good schedule. I'm taking two Hungarian specialties, Number Theory and Combinatorics and then Galois Theory. For non-math classes I am taking Hungarian Language and Hungarian Art and Culture. Both should be interesting. we've already read two novels for Culture class, and watched a cool movie. My schedule is such: Monday I have Combinatorics from 12-2. Tuesday I have Galois Theory from 12-2 and Hungarian Language from 2-5. Wednesday I have Number Theory from 10-12, Galois from 12-2, and Hungarian Culture from 2-5. Thursday I have Combinatorics from 8-10 and Number Theory from 12-2. And no classes on Fridays, which will come in handy for traveling and staying sane and such.

This weekend I continued exploring Budapest. Took a walk along the river (it's getting warm and spring-like out, it's great) and went into the Central market Hall, which is awesome. It is a huge, 3-story market with everything you can imagine. Lots of fun. I also went and saw a movie at a little art-house theater here. It's called Nyugalom by Robert Älföldi, I don't know if it will come out in the States or not. Anyway, it was all filmed in Budapest, and that made it so much fun. I recognized lots of the streets, the bridges, everything, and it made me feel like Budapest was my city, sort-of. The movie itself was alright. On the book front, I have finished One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Anna Édes by Dezső Kosztolányi and I have started The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster. I'm also trying to find Lanark by Alisdair Gray and anything by Borges.
