Spanish? That's great. I hear almost nothing but Spanish everyday because practically everybody speaks it at my job and in my neighborhood. I never studied it formally (have studied German & French) but have acquired conversation from students and friends. Firefly was a pretty decent show but I'm not a raving fan like I am of Buffy, and Angel. I am a big fan of Joss and all things Joss though. I love your "ashes of problem students icon" lol. I'm originally from PA, grew up in a town about 30 miles from Pittsburgh. Thanks for responding I'm enjoying your fic.
