good student

Well...I think this might be a good "learning" experience for me in that I may very well fail my first class ever. No joke. I know we all say "oh, I'm going to fail" but let me give you an idea of a Spanish test:

The professor arrives 20 minutes late to class. She then makes an inapropriate joke about Valentine's day and being relaxed for the test. Hands out the test. In the middle of the it, a Spaniard starts to cry it was so hard. She trys to get up and leave but the professor (who has been on her cell phone the whole time) pushes her back into her seat and tells her she cannot leave. The professor then dissapears for 5 mintues while everyone else in the room whips out their notes to cheat "muy rapido". The professor returns with a beer and a pack of cigs and hands them to the girl and tells her to relax.

Ok you might think I am kidding...heck, I barely believe it myself but it's a true story.

Then I get home to my apartment and open the door. My roomie has been waiting there to scare me as I open the door. I jump a mile and swear at her...but in Spanish so that was a good reaction! She then tells me she has been waiting for me to come home to tell me about her dream:

We are both in a bathtub. Yeah. Then suddenly it starts to fill with water and I scream that we are going to drown because I have my boot on (did I tell you I have a fracture in my foot? yeah, I'm 'booted' for a while). Anyways, Andrea, my roomie, then decides she will not allow us to die and saves us both. Then she woke up. I was laughing at how random she is until she says: "but wait, Bailey, I have some bad news....you still had your accent. But don't worry, I'm sure it's hard to lose it, even for a dream." This is the same girl who told me her full name last weekend; it took a mintue and half to get through what she could remember. The Spanish keep ALL names so she actually has like 15 last names, that she can remember, two of which are the same! So when she made fun of me for making pancakes, I just said "laugh all you want, you have two of the same last names "don Manuel, don Manuel!" Her family is coming to visit tomorrow and her sister is just back from Wisconsin so I can't wait to talk to her.

Anyways, so much has been happening I don't even know where to start so I'll leave you with that for now. Now that I have a few free mintues I'll keep posting.
