Español 102

I am a student again! How exciting!

So.... my boyfriend is Mexican and his family alternates between speaking English and Spanish when they get together. Because I took 3, 4, 5, 12 (I don't know, I have lost count at this point) semesters of Spanish throughout high school and college I can recall enough to understand them perfectly fine. Ok, not PERFECTLY. There are words here and there that I get hung up on, but I can understand enough to get the gist of what they are talking about. For the most part.

I signed up for the second level Spanish course at one of the city colleges in the area in hopes that getting back into a classroom atmosphere will allow me to practice my speaking and beef up my grammar. Not to mention that whole accountability thing. Since I have shelled out the money for this class it gives me an incentive to show up rather than sit on the couch during the harsh winter nights which haven't been that bad considering it is mid January. On second thought, let's not challenge Mother Nature.

In other news, I have been extremely overwhelmed at work this week and am looking forward to recouping over the weekend and getting back in the swing of blogging next week. Stay with me people! I am new on the scene, but promise not to let you down :)
