Examenes

Hola,

so yesterday and today we had our language level placement exams. Today was the oral/interview part. The teacher said I would probably be placed in 377, which is like the middle class. There is an intermediate level that is 6 credits and thats for people who have taken very little Spanish, then there is another class and then mine, and then like 3 more levels. So I am right about in the middle. Sounds about right to me.

Tomorrow we leave for Sevilla and Ronda, but tonight we are going out. Salir de marcha they call it...it's when you go to a pub and then to a discotecha very late into the night. I am excited for tonight and more so this weekend in Sevilla.
