A Little Bit of Spanish Here and There

So I'm currently sitting in my school cafeteria, counting down the hours that I get to go home (after a too long, two month stay here) and eat some real, non-hot dog food, but I can't quite get the fun feeling from the Spanish class I just finished out of my head.

Let me give you a rundown:
This is Conversation Spanish. No English. Ever. Señora Anderson will "yell" over Word documents if we do. Only talking about things that don't seem super important to me. However, I realized today that the point is to get us to talk, and feel comfortable doing so. We have tons of papers and presentations that we have to do throughout the course, and today happened to be a big presentation day.  We were all to prepare a presentation that described something. Going into it I wasn't really sure what that meant, but after some thought decided to do my presentation over the wedding cake I made back in May. My presentation was alright, but the fun part came when everyone else was presenting. Everyone did a really good job, but the guys in our class did great! We only have two, so they pull the weight for keeping the class from turning hormone central. Jordan went right after I did and presented about playing the saxophone. He's a music-ed major and an amazing saxophonist. The funniest part was that Mrs. Anderson, our professor, kept requesting songs for him to play. We ended up all rising as he played the Star Spangled Banner at her proposal. It was quite hilarious for us to be standing up in the bottom of Lile Hall (which is a bit like a dungeon) in the middle of the day listening to Jordan play the Star Spangled Banner beautifully. Nothing beats that!
The other guy in our class, my friend Adam, turned his presentation about some Indonesian recipe into a cooking show, right on the spot. It shocked everyone!
What a fun day in Spanish class! I wish I could say they were all like that. Most, but not all. :)


Oh, and to top it off, the sweet GA's from the church I grew up in sent me a package today! What a great help for the two tests that I have to spend the rest of the day studying for. Thank you, 4th grade class!

I hope your Tuesday is as beautiful as mine is at the moment!
[26 hours and I'll be headed to the great state of Texas!!]
