First day of the last week

Today was the first day of the last week of school!

We have done 2 months of spanish school. A month of 5 days, 5 hours a day. A month of 4 days, 3 hours a day.

After this week we have another week in San Jose, head to Panama for a week, then rent a house in San Ramon of Alajuela. My parents also come visit during May!

We have progressed into the third book (advanced) and are learning some intense history of Central and South America! We have been breaking down the complexities of the subjunctive tense in Spanish. In English we have 6 verb tenses, 3 simple, 3 compound. In spanish there are 14. 7 simple, 7 compound. The subjunctive is a special tense that uses emotions and feelings to express doubt, desires, beliefs, opinions, etc.

Today I did a presentation on global warming. My topic: The problem is not global warming, the problem is people serve themselves and don't care about others. It was alot of fun. I had 15 minutes to present and afterward my teacher and I spoke for 30 minutes on the topic.

Krystle got to explain why she goes to church and what values dictate the way she lives here life while using the subjuctive. Not a small feat by any means!
