Hola!
I think this will be my last update until I get home from holidays in Rome! I may try to post something during the week, but Victoria and I are going to be busy, so we’ll see if that happens or not…
Yesterday was a pretty interesting day. For Positive Psychology, we went on a field trip to a place called Hub Madrid. Before getting there, I didn’t know anything about it, but we had a tour from one of Eduardo’s previous positive psych students who now works there. It’s a really cool office/work space for social entrepreneurs. Basically, it’s a community office where people who are running businesses that have a social aspect (meaning improving life or helping people in some way) can work, network, and share ideas and contacts. The office itself isn’t too large, but it is very open and inviting. It is such a cool idea too. Hub Madrid is an excellent example of what we call a “positive institution”—an institution that encourages positivity in people. Eduardo told us that he has several projects/companies that he works on there; he is such a humble person, but I can tell that he has done a lot of great things in his life. It’s nice to learn from such an accomplished person!
Here is the website for Hub Madrid, if you would like to check it out: http://madrid.the-hub.net/public/
In art history, we had a slide quiz yesterday. I actually don’t mind those because they’re pure memorization (of paintings, artists, dates, and movements), and I’m pretty sure I got everything right. After class, I went home and started getting organized for Rome. I am almost done packing now and will leave for the airport with Victoria soon. It’s going to be such a fun trip!
Have a wonderful weekend, Holy Week, and Easter everyone!
Ciao,
Elizabeth
