The first day of Class

Nervous, but ready for my first day of class, I took my first walk across Granada, using my map to guide me to the university, which ended up not being to hard to find. I walked into class and took a seat by the window just in case I ever got bored, I could always look out to enjoy myself. I met my professors, they were extremely nice and very enthusiastic about teaching us spanish grammar and colloquial phrases. This class was technically an intensive spanish language course that we took for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, for a month to help prepare us for the classes which would start at the university in october. At first, for the first couple of days, the 4 hour long classes were dreadful, but eventually with time, they got easier, because we developed a more personable relationship with the professors. Susana taught the first 2 hours and then we got like a 15 min break between the next class which Pilar taught. I cannot rave anymore about these two women. They are great!! They are funny, and truly made learning so fun and interesting, always making me look forward to the next class. I mean when they taught us stuff, they taught us stuff!! We learned everything for common local greetings and different ways to ask for the bill depending on the type of restaurant, all the way to every possible slang and bad words in the book. "Joder", "de puta madre", "que te den" and "que te folle un pez" just to name a couple of them. To decide where to place all the students we first had to take an entrance examen of spanish grammar to see what classes in which we should enroll. Being a quite rusty on my spanish, I first placed into an intermediate level and stayed there because i loved Susana and Pilar so much. But at the end of the course with the excellent grade I received, of course.... haha... I tested out and skipped to levels. Now Im in the upper advanced class. Although my speaking ability has only improved slightly, my ability to comprehend spanish, especially Andalusian spanish, has sky rocketed.
