Classes

Well I got my results for my placement test and I tested into Advanced I. It's the biggest class so a lot of people are on the same level as I am, which is nice.


I decided to take a full load because I want to take as much as I can while I'm here. The town is super small and there's not a whole lot to do except for school and playing sports. So I want to do both.

I'm taking Grammer, Composition and Conversation I; History; Religion; Geography; Folklore; Current Events; and Spelling. These all add up to 18 credits. So hopefully when I'm done here, I'll have a ton of credits. I came here to learn Spanish, so I'm going to be immersing myself in all that I can do.

I changed all the settings on my computer to be Spanish. So that's all I read. It's funny because when I'm chatting with people on Facebook, I'll start responding to a question in Spanish because everything on my computer is Spanish. It's a common mistake, but I know that I'm getting closer and closer to fully understanding the language. I want to challenge myself to be able to have a decent conversation with the locals by December. I can already talk to my roommates and they understand the jist of what I'm trying to say, but I don't want to hurt their ears! LOL.

Thanks for the prayers, and I hope you all are doing well.
