(no subject)
It's been a few days. Well let's see. I met a person in class yesterday, after he said something to me... at first I understood him and then he just started rambling and I was like .................. LMAO So we came to the understanding that I'm American, he started speaking English (and Spanish, but more slowly), and so now I have a friend in my lit class. I really love that people are so nice here, but I kind of wish they'd stop speaking in English. As soon as they sense that I'm struggling, they switch out of courtesy. I think starting tomorrow I'm gonna insist that everyone I talk to normally (which is really all of 3 people, but whatever) to only let me speak Spanish, and if I start with English, to smack me. Only exception is if I don't know how to say something, for the sake of having it translated so that I learn how to say it. This I do decree.
Oh, BTW, aforementioned guy in my class said he thought I was European. And I was really flattered, for some reason.
Anyway, Saturday night I'm going to Rookie's with Melissa and others; there's a couple local bands playing. And tequila. I think Melissa's gonna make me do some tequila, since we both like it. Soo... if anyone gets a Spanglish drunk-dial or txt message on Saturday... I apologize in advance.
And I think Oscar might set up a group trip either to the beach or to a river. That would be most fabulous.
So that's my life. I loooove it here, though, panic about not learning Spanish aside. Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE... that I've met has been super unbelievably nice. I almost... dare I say it... don't want to leave in December.
