This is my Spanish teacher, Helena. She was very gracious about biting her tongue to keep from laughing at my many errors. Today I passed my exam and passed at an advanced level. They were either being very nice to a ¨vieja¨ or it looks like I can finally have a conversation in Spanish with Senora Batcha! Look out upper el---we´re going to do bigger, better, harder things en Español when I return.
