Fiesta

Last night we had a welcoming party at pub Babel. It was fun and we got free pizza and drinks. I was really tired throughout the whole thing though because I was unable to take a siesta yesterday. I left at around 10:30 and thankfully Meg, Maria, and Sam offered to walk me home and then they were all going back to party some more. Another reason why I left early is so I could be nice and refreshed this morning because I had a meeting with the resident director Paula and the Centro de las lenguas modernas. If you know me, you must be thinking how did she already get herself into trouble? To ease your mind, I am not in trouble and I have not done anything wrong. I had a meeting with her to talk about my placement test yesterday. See, when she gave us the paper at club Babel saying what level we were in, she could tell I was somewhat disappointed. She asked if I was all right with this and I said yes but then asked her if I could take some advanced classes when school officially starts. She said in order to do that I would have had to place into the advanced level or I would have to take another test at the end of this month to see if I could move up. I could also meet with her and the head professor tomorrow to discuss it and maybe change it but that seemed unnecessary. Another solution would have been to go to the first 3 days of classes and see if it was too easy and then I might have been able to move to the advanced class. I said that I would do that and I went off about my way to socialize. A little later on, I was talking to Maria about it and I decided to go back to Paula and say that I would go in the morning to talk about it. So I did and it is already over with and now I am sitting in the computer room typing this on a funky keyboard. On this keyboard I can type things like ç ´¡ º € ñ and other cool things. Well back to my story after I kept you in such suspense. The lady said that my written part was really good and at the advanced level but that my grammar in the multiple choice section was intermediate. She also went on to say that my oral interview was intermediate and I said that it was because I was very nervous and that I never really practiced speaking much at home. I also mentioned that I have friends in the higher level that would help me. She said that was good and that I would have to try very hard. I said this was ok and that I always tried my best with school work. So now thanks to the help of Paula and a little persuasion of the head professor, I am now in advanced level A.

Word of the day: Intermedio - intermediate, the level that I used to be
Bonus word: Avanzado - advanced, the level that I am now

Hooray for Martha!
