When you arrive to “La Nancy”, the first thing you notice, apart from the beauty of the place, of course, It is the Customs. In this, all the counsellors have to wear clothes that make them look like FBI agents of Hollywood movies. The customs, is like a type of control that prevents students from keeping things that can affect in some ways, the nature of the English Immersion Programmes, like things with Spanish inscriptions on them or any drugs or alcohol.
In my case, I was a little nervous, becouse the night before we travelled, I had been covering everything with colour, so that they didn’t discover any word in Spanish. I thought they were going to take my clothes! But that wasn’t necesary. In the end, my control was succesful, and there came the hardest part: the oath.
In the oath, you have to swear, with a hand on your heart, that you are not going to speak Spanish at any moment, or you will suffer the consequences. At that moment, they made me swear not to speak Spanish, or I would be tortured!
But that, of course, was a joke. Instead of this, you are made to write a composition like a punishment.
