Useful information - All groups

  • We DO have class tomorrow and the day after tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday)
  • Tomorrow we will be in classroom 9 (on the first floor).
  • We will do a final revision and I will answer all your doubts and questions about the exam.
  • Remember that the final exam will take place next 18th June 09.
  • The oral exams will start on Monday 22nd and finish on Tuesday 23rd. I still have no information about the arrangement. I'll give you all the information as soon as I receive it. Apparently you won't be able to change the day and time of your oral exam unless you have a justified reason.

I guess that's all for now. Take care and see you tomorrow!


Back to reality...

Hello everybody!!

How are you doing? I heard that you had a great time with the substitute teacher. I had a great time too ;-) But it's been really hard to be back to reality...

Anyway, I'll show you a picture of my wedding so that you check that I really got married! I still can't believe it's true!

Then, I'll write another post and I'll give you some practical information about the school, our classes and the exam, ok?

Take care a lot and see you tomorrow!
