A week of Spanish and thesising (Don't thesis unless you mean it!)

Although Laura has been an excellent Spanish teacher during our long drives and my countless questions of 'What does that mean?' or 'How do you say...?', I wanted to take some more classes at the same school where I studied in January. Monday was a holiday here, we would find out later that it has nothing to do with Easter. It is a holiday to remember soldiers lost in the war for the Malvinas Islands. The government was not very sympathetic when soldiers where MIA in the war against Britain for the Falkland Islands, so now there is a holiday to remember the lost soldiers. The week was short so the classes where long. I improved my Spanish and feel alot more comfortable speaking. My sister also took classes, except at Nivel 6. At night Laura would thesis (we have made it a verb, it takes to long to say 'work on her masters thesis') and I would distract her. All in all, I learned some Spanish and some interesting things about breast feeding. Parents here in a couple days!
