Backsliding?

I'm not sure but I've been feeling lately that my Spanish has started backsliding, its been a greater struggle to speak and think in Spanish, which is pretty disheartening. Maybe its just a short slump? I was feeling so good about my speaking skills when I got back here about a month ago. In order to combat this I'm back to basics as far as looking up almost every word I don't know when I'm reading (there are so many!) and trying to speak a little more each day (without completely embarrassing myself I hope). Rumor on campus is of another protest tomorrow, apparently the government still isn't meeting the demand of the universities to increase their funding by 11%. For me that possibly means no class tomorrow, yay!
About time for my Philosophy and Ethics class, so far of which has proved to be overwhelmingly boring-essentially we are learning the history of philosophy and being told how absolutely amazing Socrates was, which is nice, but what about discussing his actual ideas?
