Spanish and Absent Roommate

While on the Spanish topic and the roommate, I have two questions.

1) I was reserved Spanish 3300 Composition as my Honors Course. However, I didn’t take Spanish last year because I had completed my high school’s Spanish program by junior year (Spanish I - V) and there was no course available for me to take during senior year. I was fairly fluent at the end of my junior year and have been to Mexico twice on exchange trips. I didn’t use it that much last year, though and I’m rusty at best. I haven’t taken any type of SAT II or placement yet, so just wondering if anyone had any ideas on here. My advisor, Vikram Rangala, said that it probably wouldn’t be a problem. I doubt there is anyone out there that is in a similar circumstance so I was just wondering if anyone thought I would be ok in the 3000 level course.

2) Concerning the roommate issue, I was assigned a roommate and a room in Tolbert for Fall during the June 8th e-mail. However, Tolbert wasn’t one of my top 3 choices and I had been told that being Honors not staying in Hume I was guaranteed my first choice, which turned out being false information. Anyway, I called the Housing office and they said that they would try to get me into East Hall (my first choice) and I would probably know by the June 30th e-mail. However, my June 30th e-mail stated that I was guaranteed housing but had not been assigned a room at this point. I assume this means I’m on a waiting list for one of my top 3 but just wanted to make sure this wasn’t something I should be worried about.
