Hi Cindy, Nope Spanish is most definately not my native language. I had two years in high school and am now in my second semester of college Spanish. In fact I'm up late (1:27 here) studying for a test. My scholarship requires me to take through the second year of any language. Hmm, too bad in-course Honors contracts were due a week ago. An in-course honors contract is where a student can earn honors credit by working with the professor to create a unique project that can be considered as extra wrok and thus honors. Perhaps I could have done a Spanish book... ah well I'm rather busy this semester anyways. (18 hours, never again!). But I'll definately be filing this idea away for next year though, that of scanning/reading a Spanish book. Hopefully I've not mistyped too awfully. Off to estudio un poco y me acuesto. (study a little and go to bed).
