Quite interesting!
I always thought "millennium" to be Latin
and Spanish to be closer to this language than English!

Although spanish has a closer relationship to latin, it was greatly
influenced by the arabs. Words like alcohol, zanahoria, almohada, and many
more come from arabic roots. Another thing to consider is the fact that most
latin-based words in english, like millennium, Pegasus, equilibrium, and all
that suffer a transformation in spanish. The previous examples become:
milenio, Pegaso, and equilibrio. Do you notice what happens to -us and -um?
I hope that explains things for you. =)

Yes, Florida State University. My father has a pre-paid program with them.

I know what you mean. I (literally) cried when I finished the practice test.
I performed horribly. I'm quite worried.

Yes, that has been proposed as an option. Another option is to pay $300
(!!!) for a course that prepares you for the test. My dad seems willing to
pay. I don't want him to have to do that, so I'm going to read the
dictionary from top to bottom to make sure I know all the terms I'll need.
(I've actually started, I'm almost done with 'A'). The test will be given on
December 4th, so please pray for me to come out well. Thanks in advance.

There's always the possibility of it being version  3.1z  too  : )  or
just 3.1h maybe.
With all this speculation hope it doesn't lead to a big let down New
Years Day.

Forever the optimist,
