Last two days my life is getting more and more hectic (ajetreado). I kept an appointment with International Student Advisor of MC3 (universidad). I explained to her my problem: I wanted to attend like and audit the credit courses, but they said no and I dont understand why.... In the end she said:
-"Ok, AlbertO (pronuncian así) you can do it. But for one of the class you need to pass an English as a Second Language (ESL)Exam"
-Ok, When can I take this exam? . I said
- "If you are ready right now (ahora mismo)"
I could believe it. The exam lasted (duró) 3 hours. The 2 first hours were English questions ... but almost the last hour was Math and Algebra in English. I coudn't understand what I was doing there resolviendo quebrados,ecuaciones de segundo grado, problemas de geometría, series geométricas ... but I thought that I would be better don't ask about it ..... hasta que aparecio un logaritmo en base 5 (que ya no sé ni para que sirve)....anyway I figured out all the problems. I did my best. Here we go, the Test Results:
ESL Language Use 8,9
ESL Reading Skills 8,6
ESL Sentence Meaning 9,2
Algebra 7,2
College Level Math 3,4 (Oh my God,I have to review log5 (x-3)3.....)
Now I have to wait until Monday 3:30 to another appointment, but I hope (espero) I can enroll like audit to any american course, even to Introduccion to Speech Comunication and Macroeconomics. Great ¡¡¡¡
And I was in the College (universidad) talking with about 5 people I understood almost all. Later I was with Ranvir for 2 hours.
Then Doug and I went to Caroll & Brian house. We had a great dinner: cheese, pasta, a nice chicken, asparagus and two bottle of Marques de Riscal ¡¡¡¡¡ Awesome¡¡¡¡ (Imponente). All of them are charming. We laughed all the time... and I lernt how to pronunce WOMAN .... no es wuman, ni woman, ni weman, ni guoman, ni guman, ni nada de na ( I tried all the ways) Then I thought deeply how to solve my problem ...... ...and at last I got it. Now I say : l-a-d-y and all the people understood me.
And then they taught (enseñaron) how to play poker to me. I suppose you are thinking, don't you know how to play poker? Well, I know how to play 2 or 3 kinds of poker .... but they taught about 10 different poker to me.
It will be continued tomorrow ....... HOW TO PLAY AMERICAN POKER (mil y un maneras)

pretty good marks! I knew you would get a kick out of Brian, (new expression for you). They play poker for quarters as I remember, so take only a little money and no credit cards!

You´d better teach them how to play mus. You´ll be at an advantage, mus is easier than poker, and they don´t know it. You can even invent the rules of the game.
I´m astonished at your results. You are a genius! Good luck with your next appointment at the College!!

Cousin, your marks are very good, did they note that you count with your fingers?
I hope they allow you to get in to some course, try with "How to learn something when you don´t understand anything" that course could be usefull for you.

P.D.: this saturday was the festivity of "San Isidro" (Patron saint of Madrid) and I spent all the day eating and drinking beer and whisky, that´s good spanish education, don´t you think?
Math level 3,4; must be a joke. They must have missunderstood.
You should try to teach something in Spanish. It's easy. We only have 5 vocals. It will be funny for you. (Si no entiendes algo dímelo, porque seguramente estaré haciendo el ridículo con mi inglés)
