Nothing really important happened today, it was just a really good day, and I'll tell you why.
For one thing, I actually have a definite schedule now. Yay!! By that, I also figured out that I do in fact have a biology, music, and Spanish class. I was beginning to think I didn't have those classes, but they're on my schedule! Also, I had three hours of "etude," or study hall. What's not to love?
Secondly, I talked to a couple girls in French during etude (like I was actually a part of the conversation the whole time! It was awesome.) With the help of my handy dandy french-english dictionary, we made it through.
Then it was time for this mysterious Spanish class that I didn't think I had. I went to class and the teacher asks me different questions (in French!) about how long I studied and how much Spanish I know. And I was actually able to answer the questions in French! (Note: By the amount of exclamation marks, it should be obvious that the writer is very VERY excited about this matter.) The first task of the day was to write a description of a famous person in Spanish so the class could guess who it was. (We worked in partners.) I ended up transñating the vocabulary from French to Spanish for other people! That was COOL!! The next task was to write, in Spanish or French, what we wanted to learn that year in Spanish class. Well, I obviously don't know enough vocabulary or grammar to write this in French, so I wrote it in Spanish. But, the STRANGE part was that French was coming to mind faster than the Spanish.
My overview of my language learning... Spanish used to be something that I could speak freely with my American friends, but now it's getting harder. French is much more immediate now, sometimes it comes to mind faster than English. Now, THAT'S WEIRD!!!
Basically, it was an AWESOME DAY!!

Thanks for your comment on Jacob's Mission blog. This site is actually updated by his parents who live in Pocatello, ID, USA, because the missionary work is very important and these missionaries voluntarily give up two years of their everyday lives to give service to the Lord and leave outside worldly things behind. Each week as Jacob writes home, we post his adventures and experiences on his blog for all who know him to read. I am thankful for your comment and that you are interested in his service, and if you are not a member of our church, I hope you will investigate it further and contact a set of missionaries in your area to let them know of your interest. They can help you a lot and teach you all you would like to know. This church can bring eternal happiness into your life. It is truly wonderful!
