Second Test

We had our second Oral Exam this week. I can't say that I did as well as I would have liked, but it wasn't to bad. We spend almost four hours or so practicing for that exam and we still didn't remember everything. Funny thing is Lynise and I did better while we were practicing then we did during the test. I guess it was probably nerves. I did understand most of what he said during the exam it was just recalling the vocabulary I wanted to use to answer that was the problem. I have such a limited Spanish vocabulary that it is frustrating when I want to say something and don't know what words to put it into. I guess the vocab will come with time.

Mission Trip Pictures

Here are some pictures from the two mission trips I went to. The first one was to Mexico and the second to Venezuela.

Last Class

I found last class to be productive for Lynise and I. We worked on our material for our next oral exam. I think we both have a long way to go before we are going to be ready for this test. There is so much information to remember that it is going to be tough. I think that we can do it though. It just might take us awhile to get it right.

Spanish Music

My favorite part of class is definitely the singing at the beginning. I really think that we should perform at one of the open mike nights that the school has each month. Some of the songs that I like are La Bamba, De Colores, Guantanamera, Maria Isabelle, and a few I can't remember the names of. Having to sing the words in spanish keep me on my toes. I have to think fast about how to pronounce the lyrics and then doing it along with the music. I wish that we could have one class period where we just sang the whole time.

Destinos

Well I'm reviewing today's episode of Destinos right now and I'm thoroughly tired of the beginning of the story. I'm having a hard time concentrating on it because I know the general gist of the story and it isn't interesting anymore. I really hope that the next episode moves on to something new. This story is progressing way to slow. Its hard for me to write anything about the story in spanish because it has lost part of my attention. We've been talking about it for so long.
