Well, we are still enrolled after the first day. We enjoyed it. Pretty much every word spoken was in espanol.....there are three classes, with about a third of the total group in each one. Dar is in beginning spanish, and I'm in intermediate, although I think such classifications are sort of relative! I can get lost in a hurry. Darlene received her first dose of spanish, and came out smiling!
Other highlights of the day included: I now am sporting a "shiner", a black eye from keeping my eye on the ball a bit too long. My head came between the passer and the passee in a pickup game between faculty, students and missionaries. Also, we had an enjoyable time tonight gathering with the students and families who attend the seminary here. They hail from Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. We eat meals together, and the language students who are single are paired up with a Latin roommate. Darlene decided that she would keep me as her roommate. Glad she didn't opt out of that arrangement.
So far, so good!
