Two hours of grammar in the AM is pretty evil if you ask me!!! I really enjoy my business classes. They're a lot of work but the teacher keeps them interesting! For Thursday we have to present our top companies in the US and then compare business practices to the EU and Spain.
After I booked it home from school, I had lunch.
I then did my hw. Go me! In Spanish you have the option of addressing someone formally or informally. I had to write about when one person is addressed formally whereas the other is not. This actually happens quite a bit over here and it can really get confusing. Normally you address an older person formally and younger informally (a pretty safe rule to go by). But there also instances where a store clerk is supposed to address you formally and you address them informally. It's kooky... I know.
Following that enlightening assignment I met up with a girl named Sara. We did an intercambio. She's trying to learn English and I Spanish, so we hung out for an hour or so. She didn't talk in English though!! She said she was too bad at it! tsk tsk. Next time I'll get her to speak my language! She's 26, very tiny, and has lived in Spain her whole life. She helped me out w/ some words I was unsure of and the correct verb usage of Pensar and Crear.
Went back and did some more hw. Had to read something interesting in a newspaper to bring to class for tomorrow. I read that there are 2000 international students here this summer representing 69 countries! Incredible!
After dinner I met up Robert, Elizabeth, Mike, Jon, Jessica, Chelsea and Gokul. We went to play beer pong. I was planning on just watching ... but Gokul came too late to play with Mike. So I played... but Mike drank for the both of us. We were out in about 5 minutes! The other two teams advanced one more round before getting creamed!
