Hola!

Hi everyone! So much has been happening in UC lately that it's hard to keep up! Last Wednesday was the World Language Honor Society Induction. The three languages offered at UC, French, Italian and Spanish, all had students that were nominated to be inducted into their respective Honor Society. Each language made a presentation during the ceremony. French sang a song from "Les Miserables" and Italian sang a popular song from Italy. My class, Spanish, sang "Rie y Llora" by Celia Cruz. My class had so much fun with the song. We practiced and memorized the lyrics for weeks before the ceremony. We even came up with a dance to go along with it! We were all nervous to get up in front of our teachers, families and friends, especially since we were singing in another language! But when the time came, we all had fun with it and did an amazing job. All of the languages had impressive displays of their skills (even though I am biased towards Spanish :) ). It was a fun night and it made me excited to continue my study of Spanish next year.

Well that's all for now! Friday is the Lock-in. I think I'm getting just as excited as the incoming freshmen! It's a great night full of fun and meeting new people. I'll tell you about it next week!
