to study or to speak spanish, that is the question
well i kinda have an exam for my least favorite class 2maro on all the different varieties of spanish and it's boring material, altho i do have to say it has been handy at the museums when the descriptions are written in one of these languages and i am able to understand it so props to it, but its dry boring material. just spent the last 2 hrs chatting away with mi mama espanola and the 2 german girls after dinner about various crazy topics like: about Japan and i made the comment about the world ending in 2012 which sparked one conversation, about america and how it censures everything and there's not really any here (is what i took from the convo), about younger generations in general, i brought up how not only the school system and how the children behave i guess is different but now that i've taken educacion classes how the US is so much more strict with what and what not a teacher is allowed to do and all that stuff. we had some really interesting conversations and its even better cuz i get to give my input. so much easier just having a convo like this around the house and whipping out my spanish with good grammar than talking in class gahhh haha. but yeah, besides learning how to speak, as in roll my "rr", my goal is to in general just be able to speak spanish much better and at ease so in my opinion it was worthwhile and i'll just have to look at my notes a bit later and in the morn. i was told you'd have to make decisions asi but i didn't think i'd actually have to. now i understand and i know what i want so i'm going for it. couldn't be more happy with my spanish family.

Pura thinks i'm crazy haha
So i've told Pura that I have this internship Friday mornings. but i think she forgot that I've told her about it haha. So i have to be there by 8:20 this morning so i woke up at 6:30 to take my ice cold shower. actually i couldn't do it so i sucked it up and only washed my hair this time. but anywho. i left the house by 7:50 am cuz i didn't know how long it would take me to get cuz when Gene showed us the way we stopped multiple times. i got there a little bit early but watevs. Pura finally learned i'm very puntual. Unlike Teddy who has showed up late to class countless times already haha i won't forget thursday morning when he came in "hola clase!" and he proceeded to show our profesora the girl's number he got the night before haha he wouldn't shut up...it was hilarious. sorry off topic. but yeah. she was shocked at how early 6:30 am was. and then i told her i get more sleep here than i do normally. so i proceeded to tell her that at school i have early morning softball and conditioning and she thinks the US is muy loca!
