Best Intercambios Ever

Hola mis amigos,
So today I officially declare both my intercambios the greatest intercambios ever (equally of course).  Monday I met with Javier which is always fun.  This time he showed me pictures of the kids he works with when he volunteers.  This weekend they are performing a play - High School Musical!!!  ¡Que guay!  He has never seen the movie - I told him he needed to see the movie before the show begins!  jajaja.  In addition, Javier is friends with the intercambio of one of my friends, Carly.  We decided that the four of us needed to get together next week and meet together.  The more the merrier!  We have only met twice and each time we have spoken only in Spanish so I told Javier next time it was allll English.  He isn´t too excited because it is always much more difficult to think in a foreign language.  When I told him it would be fun, he said ÿeah... maybe for you!¨ jaja.  Yes, definitely for me!
Entonces, today I met with Pedro.  We studied English for a little more than two hours because tomorrow he has a big English test.  He isn´t taking an English class but he wants to study abroad in Portugal and the program he wants to study abroad with requires everyone to know a certain about of English.  I had so much fun with the English today.  Although he definitely knows more of the specifics than I do!  Just like I know more of the verb tenses and specifics of Spanish than he does.  At times when he asked me questions my reply was ¨I don´t know how to explain it!  I just speak it!!¨ But it was fun to be able to explain English to him in Spanish.  In addition, he had a practice test that I helped him with.  Some of the sentences on the test I would never use and neither would anyone else speaking English (at least in the States).  They were sooo odd!  My homework now is to look up the difference between lay and lie.... so sad.... I feel like I should know that!  To wrap up the night, Pedro drove me home from the universidad and on the way we exchanged slang words in our native language.  That was probably the best part!  To hear him pronounce certain ¨slang¨ words in English was hysterical  especially with his accent and it was equally funny for him to hear me pronounce some of the words and phrases.  Por ejemplo, I taught Pedro what it means to ¨make-out¨ in English.  :)  Useful information, right?
Oh anyways... I should probably get some sleep while I can!
¡Adios chicos!
Un beso,
Sarah
