Okay, due to popular request (shut up I know only two people requested), I'm posting up a translation of the online conversation I had with Elena. I was gonna do it in my last entry, but when I saw the finished entry I realized how long it was so I decided just to leave the Spanish. Aaaanyway, here it is
[Elena]: do you mind if we speak spanish. it would be good, you�ll pratice [Melissa]: o ok sure [Melissa]: (Spanish starts here)of course [Elena]: ok [Elena]: hahahaha [Elena]: see, it's good, you speak well [Elena]: are you going to work this summer? [Melissa]: No, I'm not working [Elena]: ah ok [Elena]: I am going to camp on july 16th [Melissa]:oh, my sister is going to camp on july 16th too [Melissa]: no no [Melissa]: she is going to camp in july [Melissa]: i don't know what day [Elena]: haha a ok [Elena]: honestly, you speak spanish well [Melissa]: thank you [Elena]: you're welcom [Melissa]: I get good grades in Spanish [Melissa]: But my grades aren't that good in other classes, haha [Elena]: I don't think that [Elena]: I think you get good grades [Elena]: Is it your vacation [Elena]: Or are you still in school? [Melissa]: vacation [Melissa]: FREE! [Elena]: haha as am I! [Elena]: You didn't fail any subjects? [Melissa]: No, I didn't fail [Melissa]: but I wasn't happy with my grades [Elena]: it's alright [Elena]: I'm not happy with my grades either [Melissa]: aw (This is probably the stupidest thing I said in the whole conversation. AW??) [Melissa]: I think I'll do better this year [Elena]: I agree with what you say [Elena]: because if... (she never finished this sentence??) [Elena]: Are you excited to come to Spain? [Elena]: I'm really excited to travel to the USA. [Melissa]: What does [a word that she used in her last sentence] mean? [Elena]: is like "do you fancy going to spain" [Melissa]:ohhh [Melissa]: Yes, I love it [Elena]: My family is so jealous of me [Melissa]: haha [Melissa]: mi family is worried [Elena]: Tell them not to worry because you will like Spain a lot and you are going to travel well.

[Melissa]: Melanie [Elena]: ah ok [Elena]: I have 2 sisters and a brother [Elena]: My brother's name is pedro [Melissa]: how old are you?

[Elena]: I'm 15 [Melissa]: ok [Melissa]: me too [Melissa]: I only have one sister [Elena]: I thought I told you in my email [Melissa]: and a dog, Hickory [Melissa]: oh yeah [Elena]: a cocker spaniel, right?
