so i have a little bit before we eat lunch so thought i would write a quick something! today we had our placement test, which is the test that shows how much spanish we know and so what class we are going to go to. this included a written exam and an oral exam (SHOOT ME IN THE FACE.) dont get me wrong, i looove the language of spanish in trying to converse with families but sitting down and taking a written grammer exam can kiss my butt. i forgot how much i hate spanish tests. and by hate i mean HATE. but at least they look pretty at the end...all of the numbers are decorated and i leave pretty drawings for my teacher. it took me back to spanish 2 oral exams when i failed... (i'm really making myself sound smart here haha) when the 2 words i knew best were 'no se' or 'no comprendo'. and the days when instead of writing an essay in spanish i would write a long letter to my teacher in english about how i still dont understand any of it. one time the girl next to me looked at me and said 'are we supposed to write that much on the essay??' i told her yes because it made me feel smart for about 10 minutes. i hated that teacher. i saw her across campus a few months ago and wanted to bodyslam her.
aaaanyways, after class i got a medialuna!!!!! which made everything better! and then brue (thats gonna be rue and brett's new name cause i dont feel like typing both of them) and i took the bus home. our house is about 20 minutes away from the school in a car, but it takes about an hour to ride the bus home because of stops and waiting on buses...so we have some pretty interesting conversations haha it was the first time that we've done it by ourselves so it was pretty entertaining. we have to take one bus (3-33) and then we get off after the coke factory and cemetery and then wait for the next bus (1-19) and get off at the 2nd stoplight after the brewery on your right and church on your left. haha somehow we made it, and then we walked home from the bus stop to our house. on the walk we saw a man holding his pantless daughter over a hole in the ground and she was peeing in it. the hole in the ground is actually this river thing that is in between the street and sidewalk...it gives water to the trees and plants somehow. i cant remember what it's called...but you get the picture. it was so funny/disgusting.
well thats all for now. i'm gonna take a short siesta, eat lunch then rue's mom is taking us back to the city. we have a city tour with everyone at 4:30...i'll write later tonight! hopefully with pictures
