On Sunday I ordered pizza in spanish for the first time - I forgot the word ninth (our floor) and I didn't know how to say breadsticks at the time. Stickos de pan doesn't really work (neither does un vaso de tap water as andy, will and I learned in madrid.) Markham and I both did well on our exams, and moved up to level B1. We have 4 new people in our class, three of whom are girls from brazil, the other is a guy from england. They are all pretty cool, but it's very different having 8 people in a class (as opposed to 4).
Today went well though and included discussion of invisible dragons, midget thieves, women of the night, and much more - all in spanish. We also talked about the elections - supposedly the Kirchners party (who were the incumbents) lost a ton of seats in their congress which our teacher is psyched because she doesn't like them - they are pals with Chavez - and she said they are all about controlling media and various evil things.
Also Laura, mentioned in Nikki's post, is muy guapa (very beautiful) and our teacher teased Markham about her. Anyhow, we are about to go meet her for dinner, and I'll take pictures and post them here later.
Highlights from the weekend:
1) Learning to dance like a brasileira
2)seeing our brazilian classmates partying really hard
3) more to come
