This week I watched S1 E2 of "El Internado." After Alfonso has not return, Carolina and Victoria get suspicious.  They attempt to find him. They notice Marcos with Alfonso's ring on, given to him by his sister. They ask the sister to show them where she found the ring. Marcos is unaware of this and find his sister with Carolina, Victoria, and Ivan. Alfonso appears to be trapped and is knocked unconscious by something. Not only were they unsuccessful in finding Alfonso , but Ivan and Marcos get caught. As punishment, Ivan is expelled. Delivering the news to his father, he slapped Ivan. Hector sees this and decides to let him stay. Meanwhile, Maria is still looking for her son. Jacinta finds out that Maria escaped from a mental asylum and fires her. Maria turns to Fermin for help. Fermin reports to authorities that he found the woman who escaped. On the on the other hand, he does give her the information she wants and we find out that Ivan is her son. She is relieved to know that he will not be getting expelled so they can get to know each other. Jacinta grants Maria with her job back to build her relationship with her son. The episode ends with Marcos disappearing in Alfonso's closet.
       
I also spend an hour on Duolingo. I worked on adverbs, and objects and adjectives

  I watched the first episode of "El Internado." The show was 1 hour and 9 minutes long.  It starts off with a woman named Maria escaping a mental hospital. She tries to go into hiding by working as a janitor at La Laguna Negra. We are introduced to some of the students that attend the school. Marco and his sister, Paula, are new to the school. Their parents went missing during a ship accident. He is bullied by Ivan and his friends. They always tease him about his parent's death. There are also 2 girls in this group, Victoria and Carolina.  Paula's friend, Evelyn, convinces her that there are monsters are in woods. Alfonso, a teacher, is investigating the woods while everything is going on. He warns tge girls that the school is dangerous and that they should leave. We also meet the principal, Hector, and his girlfriend, Elsa. Hector convinces Paula that there are not monsters in the woods. Instead, there are fairies. Pauly sneaks out through the gate to make a wish to the fairies. They have a search party looking for her and eventually finds her. She tells them that a fairy saved her from a bad man who grabbed her leg. They try to find the man but he is not there when they return. We also discover that Maria is looking for her son she lost when she was 13. She believes he attends the school and would like to get to know him. 

  I spent 30 minutes doing Duolingo .I had to take a test so they could get an idea of where I am now. I am currently on Level 10 I took a test that told me I was 40% fluent in spanish. I can tell that I need to work on my listening skills because those where the questions I missed frequently .
