clase

Class went well yesterday and i was nervous but i did fine. we went over some grammar stuff and then we had the conversation part and we had to introduce someone else in the class which was pretty funny. overall it went well and they gave us a binder and a lot of worksheets to put in it. today we are going on a tour of salamanca and then we have class at four and we are going out for tapas tonight. i hope you all are doing well and i am glad to hear the information about the pastor! that is wonderful!!!! to my family: have fun in seagrove! to everyone else: have fun in raleigh!!!

salamanca

i have arrived in salamanca as of yesterday!  we are living with a woman that seems like she is probably in her fifties.  bailey and i have our own bathroom to share and i think the señora and the italian girl staying with us are sharing a bathroom.  the italian girl is basically fluent, but she is hard to understand because her accent is a little weird.  we are trying our best to communicate with our mom and it is going pretty well.  she has an eight month old puppy and she calls him shorty but he never listens...we always hear ¨shorty, ven aquí!  over and over because he never comes!  that means come here by the way :)  we took our placement test this morning and our first class is at four.   i was put in the advanced class which is pretty good to know.  i miss everyone and i hope that everyone is doing well!  keep me updated on the beach, the pastor, everything!  i love you all!
