and that's all it took

so literally the week before i leave for Iralnda it's like a was hit hard with a gust of knowledge of spanish haha c uz all of a sudden i'm understanding things i never did before. yeah i've been reading my grammar book and all that jazz but yeah how cool! finally back with the fam and my beloved spanish! (if you saw me in class you might not believe that just cuz i have my moments of being taken off guard and sometimes just not thinking but who doesn't...i just usually show always show it haha) so anyway, spent all day with the fam today. literally all day just chillin in the TV room and listening to fast talkers and then i chirped in later when the fast talker lady left just because i wasn't really followinf cuz i was working on mi porfolio y cosas. later on, Pura (mi mama espanola) asks her daughter to get her some honey with lemon. she comes back with a HUGE spoon of it! DANG! and ten half a lemon to i guess just eat with the honey. weird, but looked good actually. well Pura made the comment well in english it would be something along the lines of "WOAHH all of this?!?!" well as it goes, i replied, "yeah, like yesterday with MY huge spoon of chocolate!!!!" bahahaha i was dying. cuz yesterday after we finished off the fiollas...we didn't even use the chocolate cuz there was like none left, so she literally scooped out the edges of the bowl and gave me this gigantic spoon of it just to eat by itself lol. i was like "WOAH byitself? i need something with it!" so i got some bread but yeah it was funny if you were there. i cracked an american joke today during tea...finally starting to just be myself with the spanish. and LIFE IS GOOD : )  basically just livin a dream right now and i never wanna wake up!

me llamo Kelly

hola, me llamo Kelly. English: hi, my name is Kelly. mi mama espanola told me the other day that she remembers my name because of Grace Kelly. so i had to play that song for her...oh SO catchy! but yeah, how we sparked this convo. i can't even begin to count how many times she asks me what the Japanese girl's name is lol. it's Yuki. Said like "you-key" welllll she says "ya-key" as in like ewww gross disgusting. i  told her in spanish that when she says her name wrong like that, that is english it means como "que asco" lol. she cracks me up. i think she might finally have it down after tea 2nite. we'll have to wait and see tho.

~officially love it here...never wanna leave~

i LOVE being surrounded by a SEXY foreign language ALL the TIME and TRAVELING and everything else that SPAIN has to OFFER!!! the FOOD, la GENTE, the festivals, the SUN, being chill, puesssssss TODOS!!!

haha...that's all i can say

nuestra untilmo clase hoy, hemos oido sobre una "fantasy de amor" de nuestro profesor porque no entiendo algo...de nada : )

Orientation Day (Mon & Tues)

I'm sure something I could write about will happen today...thus far my life is ANYTHING but dull.

Cheers to a New Country

A very Happy New Year to All!!! 5, well at this time of day, more like 4 more days until I leave the motherland for a foreign country filled with new adventures. 2010 had its up and downs but it’s time for a lil change of pace.

Bring on 2011!

Bring on a new country…SPAIN!

Bring on the la lengua español!

Christmas break has been well spent with friends and family. I will miss the nightly i-don’t-even-know-what-to-call-its (wars of pictionary and charades?) with the cult (i can’t believe we call ourselves that) over breaks and of course the holidays spent with the entire family. I will miss the crazy shenanigans of the LC, a fun season of softball with some of the craziest/coolest girls around, and everyone else I’m leaving behind, especially those who I have become so close with just this semester. I hope to keep in touch with everyone so please keep me updated on the happenings of you and of LC.


Peace out 2010…Here I come SPAIN…Bring it 2011!!!
