Ahh, today was my first test at school!

It was surprisingly long but I feel I did well -
the lessons have been great so that's to be expected.
I'm going to wind up taking another week of Spanish here even
though it wasn't covered initially because I'm getting a lot out of
it.

It's been quite the ride here so far just making new friends everyday
at ECELA. People hail from all over the globe and it's
encouraging to see people taking the initiative to learn.
For most Europeans learning Spanish is just a footnote
because they speak at least 3-4 different
languages just to be able to travel by train and communicate in
every country they pass through.. for a gringo like me its a bit diff.

Feliz ano nuevo!
