No more girl talk

I have a new spanish teacher this week, and it's no more girl talk around here. It's grammer drills and the revealing of huge gaps in my spanish knowledge. She'll ask me, for example, 'when do we use the conditional?' and I'll give a weak sauce answer, and her eyes will roll back slightly and then she'll break it down. So discouraging because it's turning out that I know less spanish than I thought, but ultimately for the best. She says we're doing this because I already speak 'bastante español'. Better than ninguno.
