los resultos de los examenes escritos y orales

So I just had my interview...

The spanish professor told me I got about an 80% on the written exam, which I was pretty happy with considering it was my first spanish exam, sin estudiar, in 3-4 months. Also, other students who have much better speaking skills than me and have studied abroad before got similar scores. I was pretty nervous while speaking to him, but he was really nice and just asked me about where I'm from and to describe Birmingham. He asked if Birmingham was famous for anything and I told him about its history as one of the most violent cities during the civil rights movement and about the bombing of the 16th street baptist church. He then showed me a comic strip of Little Red Riding Hood, pero había un distinto de la historia tradicional, and I had to describe what I saw.

He told me they were splitting the students into 4 groups (there's about 40 of us by the way, a lot more than I originally thought there would be) for the mandatory spanish language course. All the groups will be taught the same material...they're just splitting us up so we can receive more specialized attention and so that we're learning with other students at the same level. Groups 1 and 2 are more advanced...he said I would be in 3 or 4 bahahaha. But I'm happy with that...I'll feel more comfortable participating in class and what not.


Final side note (and my parents will like this the most): there's about 5 other girls here with tragus piercings...so I fit right in.


oh and i'm super behind on my picture taking. believe it or not...I've only taken 1 picture. We're too busy! get with the program emily.
