1. I read a full chapter book in Spanish! It was The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I've read it in english years and years ago, so I couldn't remember exactly what happened, but it was so good in spanish! I was very proud of myself. At first it was really hard and I didn't want to do it, but I kept slowly googling words until I figured out what was going on. Next on my list are the Harry Potter books. If you find them cheap on Amazon, let me know!

2. I watched TWO movies at the movie theater! In spanish! AND I knew what was going on! I was super scared at first and was worried I'd pay 10 Euro to sit through a movie and have no idea what was going on. But I kept up! At first it gave me a headache but eventually I got with the program. The first movie was the Cloud Atlas which was super good, I really want to watch it in English because I think there were some little things I didn't follow, but even in spanish I loved it! The other movie was The Great Gatsby, which regardless of language, I genuinely wish that was my life. I loved it. Leonardo DiCaprio will forever be one of my favorite actors and age has done good things to him. And all the glitter helped ;) I do have to wonder what's with the obsession with Leo and water... All I could think was "Jack! I'll never let go Jack!" Awkward...
This semester I really think I've gotten more of a handle on the language. I'm not where I thought I'd be, but I'm happy with where I'm at and how much I've learned. I'm coming into finals week so I'm really stressing out, but I realized today that I couldn't even have imagined doing this stuff last semester. Learning is fun!
Also, update: My parents and grandparents are currently in Paris! Travels went well and everyone is safe and sound! I pick them up on Wednesday and I can't wait!
