Back to School

Well I have officially started my last semester of language school. I'm pretty excited about it. More correctly, I'm excited about the LAST part in 'last semester of language school'. Language learning really isn't my favorite thing to study. I do enjoy the conversational aspect of it. I have been able to spend a lot more time with local friends this month and it has been great being able to have more indepth conversations, even if the topic is something simple like making plans. I have classes four days a week this semester, and they are all in the mornings. Actually, our college campus has moved to a new location that is several miles outside of town. They have allowed all of the foreign students to continue to study at the old campus, which is a definite blessing. The new campus would take me well over half an hour to ride my bike to. My classes are about the same every semester. One is a grammar/vocabulary class, one is a conversational class, but this semester we're also learning local proverbs. I've tried them out on several of my local friend and they know them all. Honestly they don't make a lot of sense to me, even after they are explained. I figure it is a good insight into culture though. Class is the big exciting thing going on at the moment. This next week I have some friends coming out and we'll be doing some traveling around and looking at coffee and corn. Harvest time is coming up soon for the corn also. Between school and everything else I'm sure it will be a busy time.
