So many activities

Yesterday my homework assignment was to go to a Spanish movie, and then write a summary about it. Some classmates and I went to "La Chispa de Vida", it was a lot different than an American movie but I still enjoyed it. I was really pleased to see that I understood most of the conversations in the movie and didn't leave the theatre with too many questions. The building was really cool too, the first level was filled with shops and restaurants and then the upper level was a suspended platform where you bought tickets with walkways leading off the platform into each individual theatre.

(ok so I didn't take this one, but I wanted to show you a picture of the building)

Then today before class we had to pair up and go to "El mercado de jueves", which is basically means "the thursday market", and buy something for two euros or less. Once we found the object we had to make up a story about it's history, and we will be presenting our story in class tomorrow as part of our first test! We bought a ring for one euro. The ring has the initials CTR on it, and we are planning on making up a tragic love story to explain how it ended up in the mercado for our presentation tomorrow. The market is very similar to a flea market, except there are a lot more antiques, some of the most interesting things I saw were old tea sets, lamps and the crystal parts of chandeliers. There were so many people all crammed onto one street, it was very hard to navigate but definitely a worthwhile experience. 

Other than that I don't have much going on. I have my first test tomorrow, I don't think it should be too hard it is just testing our ability to use all of the different past tenses that exist in the Spanish language. Our professor has told us what all the parts of the test will be like so I feel like I'll be able to study for it effectively. 

Oh but check out where I get to go to school everyday!
