Spicies potatoes

That is one of the menu options at a nearby tapas bar that is translated into sad English. Haven't tried it yet, but I like spicies, so maybe one day soon. School today was bleh, but some funny things happened I thought I should mention before I forget. Our profesora, Mar, was getting frustrated with us and said some of us are getting worse instead of better. She said maybe she should pick a new profession and asked what we thought she would be good at. Someone immediately goes, "policia!" which was pretty funny...she looked offended. Then someone said actriz, and one boy said "modelo" like, as in model...suck-up. She said he got +3 points for that comment. She talked to the same boy for about 5 minutes straight trying to get him to pronounce Urquinaona, which is one of the Plazas/metro stops here. Granted it is really, really difficult to say...it's like or-keen-ah-oh-na. Try saying that 3 times fast. Then we got to try to say "refrigerador" for 5 more minutes, even though that's not even the word they use for refrigerator here in Spain (they say "nevera"). One of our homework assignments this weekend was to write our own riddles in Spanish, and the class had to guess what it was. I made mine way easier than everyone else's...oops. Mine was "tinta" or ink...I just said something like, this object helps with writing and printing. Can be very expensive. Find me in a pen, like in your notebook or in a letter. Look for smudges. Others did a shark, a broom, and I can't remember what else but they were hard and no one knew the Spanish words for those. Sometimes class is really frustrating because I don't think we are all in the right level. Some people don't know the Spanish alphabet...which is like Spanish 101 day 1. There are also some people in advanced level that I'm pretty sure I'm better at speaking than they are...but I won't complain for getting an easier ride and getting credit at A&M. After our riddles, Mar handed out a piece of paper with Disney characters on it. We were supposed to pick one and describe them so the rest of the class could guess. I picked Aladdin and talked about how his best friend is a monkey and he doesn't wear a shirt. Easy enough. Well, that's all for now! Hasta luego
