Winter Session at CSUN
In order to graduate during the spring, I am currently taking a winter course called Chicano/a Studies Regional Music of Mexico (CH S 310) with Professor Fermin Herrera. I am glad that I am taking this course not only because I like music, but it’s also because the professor seems very passionate about music, and it definitely shows when he teaches. Today he brought his two sons to demonstrate us son jarocho music, and his sister also came along to show us zapatedo, which is an acoustic percussive type of dance. Haha, I hope I got those information right because I’m not looking at my notes right now. The performance was definitely enjoyable to watch.
After class, I met up with Jennifer because we had planned to go eat lunch together. We decided to go eat at Emle’s Restaurant that was down the corner near our school. It was our first time eating there. We ordered a house salad, a chicken kabob sandwich, and a tiramisu. The chicken kabob sandwich had a much creamier hummus that I did not expected, but I think it is also because they added potato strips (almost like French fries) in them, and it added an interesting texture. The flavors were delicious, though. The tiramisu was to die for. It was so delicious, and the flavors weren’t too sweet that it was difficult to bear. In fact, they were just right, and ahh, it was just so yummy. Haha.
