in class, we have been covering mandatos informales and formales. It is my understanding that the usage of these is similar to formal and informal conversations in the US, such as between friends or with an authority figure. But are thee any differences that you have noticed since living in Spain? -Emily

In Spain!
Hello, my name is Meridyth Crawford and I am currently in Spain attending the Texas Tech Campus here. I am a senior and I currently waiting to hear back from Texas Tech's Occupational Therapy program if I was accepted. I am here in Spain mostly because I recieved a $4000 scholarship and the other because I thought having this experience would better my chances in getting into OT school. Also, living in a state that is mostly populated with Spanish speaking people, I thought it would be in my best interest to learn Spanish, so I can speak to my patients. Spain is wonderful, there are so many interesting cities here with tons of history. The whole country is filled with history. In Texas, I am an aerobic instructor and I used to work at Dillard's. I love to work-out! In Spain we do have stores that are similar to Wal-Mart, but not nearly as big, of course, everything here is smaller: the cars, the people, houses, everything..... They is Corte Ingles which is a huge company with a chain of stores across Spain, it has everything from clothes to grociers. I have to go and work on a project, I'll write more later.
