My First Day (Night?) of School

[the_other_sandy]

I had my first Spanish class tonight. So far, so good, but that's because all we did was go over the syllabus. I'm very pleased that the incomprehensible workbooks of my youth have been replaced by online quizzes. I've taken an online class before, and I like the online quiz structure and the immediate feedback. Learning new software is really easy for me (much easier than learning Spanish). I'm also pleased that I'm not the oldest person in the class. There are at least 4 other grown-ups there. :-)

The classroom itself is horrible. It's very tiny, unventilated, and dirty, and it has those little tiny chairs with a built in desk surface about the size of a sheet of looseleaf paper. And there were fruit flies. Yuck.

The teacher was very approachable, so I stayed after class to ask her about some things that were making me nervous. She was able to give me some tips for dealing with things that have been a problem for me in the past when I've taken language classes. She also said that there will be only one oral exam at the end of the semester and it'll be given one on one, not in front of the class. \0/

We'll see how this goes.
