Mis clases andan muy bien. I only have class 3 days a week, so I'm looking in to doing a teaching assistant gig every Wednesday. My seminar to prepare for the DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is going to be a challenge, but that's good. It's just me and a friend in that class, so it's really personalized attention. The class is a challenge because we are preparing for an exam that will certify us as native-level Spanish speakers. :O Almost frightening! In my Translation class we are going over the movie script and can begin translating our part with our partner. Basque class is going well, it's fun to learn another language from scratch. Today we purchased our books using Euskera (Basque). We'll have to write a 20 page paper, and I think my topic will be Basque Carnival, since apparently I'll be doing interviews with Carnival people as part of my work with the Sumario (yearbook type thing). I've also decided to take Basque Dance class, since it's good exercise and just a few blocks from my piso. Hooray!
Mmmm qué más....today I cooked chicken for the first time! Ohhh yeahhhh. Now I'll have enough chicken to last me another week because I cooked both of the pechugas. My roommate is pleasant; I practice my minimal Basque with her, and soon we'll have chats in English. I had lunch with my host family the other day, and they gave me leftover lentejas and hamburguesas. That's what they do for their own kids, so I feel special. :D
