I took 4 years of high school Spanish.
My freshman year I was probably one of 10 students that my teacher did not violently hate. She was a real gem. Ahhhh, Mrs. Colmena.
My sophomore and junior year I competed in some weird Spanish academic competition. I think we won. I don't freaking remember. I still am not sure how I agreed to join this, but I think I thought it would help my chances of getting into a good college later.
My senior year I took Spanish Honors. And at the end of the year I felt like I had a pretty firm grasp on the language.
I took 1 semester of college level Spanish.
¡Ay dios mio!
I quickly found out that all 4 years of high school curriculum was covered in the first month of this course and it rocked my world.
So, I quit Spanish. I figured I already got into college and I can get by just fine if I ever I need to vacation there.
Or...
My Spanish would be good enough to possibly throw a baby shower for some sweet friends with a "Mexican Fiesta" theme.
I'd like to say that I didn't have to ask for help in properly phrasing certain things for the party, but that would be la mentira. Thanks Bojorquez!
I guess I should have at least taken a second semester of college level Spanish.
