Urgent! Anyone GOOD with spanish?

Ok. My Spanish tutor just ditched me, he had something important come up.
So like, I have this stuff due tomarow, and I'm totaly screwed now. Teacher is going to flip out if it's not done perfectly.
Was planning on taking advantage of my tutor, but now that option is gone, I turn to the internet!
Can anyone help me fix up four short paragraphs to be all spiffy?

My teacher is completely insane. He is so pasionate about his language, if we don't do it right he completely flips out. Save me! :(

I can look at it. No assureances - 4 years of Spanish, but that was 2 years ago.

[ Bah, fine. Spanish! ]

Lo puedo ver. No te puedo asegurar - cuatro años de Español, pero éso era hace dos años.

No puedo hablar espanol bien. No puedo te ayudar.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Keep in mind we are only using present tense currrently, basic stuff. So don't try to fix things into more complexity and other tenses.

En la cantina vendemos cmoida bien. Vendemos pollos, ensaladas, sandwiches hamburgvesas, y mas. Tres gentes trabajan en la cocina. Uno en la parrilla, la freir, expeditor, y ensalada. Tambien trabajan esta uno el cajero y otra expeditor y dos en helado. La cantina es abrir de a las diez en la manana a diez en la tarde. Hay dos dies hora turnos.

In the cafe (la cantina is ok here) we sell good food. We sell chicken, salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, and more. Three people work in the kitchen. One of the grill, the frier, expitidor, and salad. Also working is one cashier and another expitdor and two in icecream. The cafe is open from 10 in the morning to 10 in the night. There are two ****s.

Estoy cerrado adentro un congelador. Estoy frio. Estoy adentro alli por 10 minots. Orta hora estoy dentro de un ________. Mi amiga peda a una persona toma la basura afuera.
Cuando ellos estan cerca del _______ yo salto fuero de la ________.

Would like to add "At work we play pranks on each other" total'y don't know how to even begin with that phrase.

I was shut in a freezer. I was cold. I was inside it for 10 minutes. Another time I was inside of a trashbag (don't know that word). My friend told another person to take it outside. When the person was near the bag I jumped out of the bag.

... I seem to have misplaced the other two.. Hrm.

If you're only using present tense...

I work at Point Sebago, which is a vacation resort on Sebago Lake. It is fifteen minutes from my house by boat and ten minutes by car. I have worked there for four years, and I am a supervisor. I work there with my good friends.

NOTE: I combined a few sentences in order to improve sentence flow, but since I don't know your teacher, it may not be a good idea. You will have to judge for yourself whether to leave it in this form.

"Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it."

Fixed what I could using present tense. A number of these things actually require you to use different tenses, but since your only allowed to use present tense, thats the best I can do. Tried not to complicate things either. Let me know if I complicated matters for your or not. :p

Only present tense? what year of spanish are you in? Puedo hablar espanol bastante bien porque esta tomando espanol tres. ergh, to lazy to do accents.

Haz la tarea!
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Meh, I'm Mexican... so go figure... what you need help in?

Also... the reason he is so passionate is because its because when you screw up in Spanish it sounds horrible... in English its not half as bad... trust me, I've been through it before.
Nothing to see here, move along.

En el año pasado hubo una nueva directora . Ella es vieja y terminante (estricta). A nosotros no nos gusta ella. Ella trabaja mucho y nosotros somos flojos. Antes, trabajaba en las tardes y ahora trabajo ma ñ anas.[/QUOTE]

I fixed a bit. Red means that I'm fairly sure it's meant to be written this way, blue means I'm not so sure. The hell with your present-tense-only thing, some of this just can't be written without imperfect.
