I would first like to say that there is a big difference between understanding Spanish when it is spoken to you and understanding Spanish when it is sung in a song. It is very difficult to understand songs. Today I understood to songs I listened to! First one the main line say "Tu eres mi cancion"---"You are my song". And the second one says "Mi cama huele a ti, tu perfume y miel."---"My bed smells like you, of your perfume and honey." If I saw this written out I would've understood it, but I was pretty excited I understood it while it was being sung. I feel like my Spanish is improving, ecspecially because now I use a lot of past tense, not just present tense with a hand gesture that implies it happened in the past.
Today I was a girl on a mission. Here the story. Me, three letters in need of mailing, and my stupidity. This is about the third time I went to the post office attempting to mail these letters. Today I went with my letter, bought envelopes, sealed them and addressed them only to realize I didn't know my address in Spain. Not to be defeated I speed walked to Fernandos office to ask him what our address was. I had to be back before the post office closed in 30 min. Thank god Miranda is a small town, because I made it back by 8 20 pm. 10 min before closing. Unfortunately I stepped in dog shit on the way...
Oh god...so on my way to the post office I stopped in this little place to get a snack. I wanted one of these tiny chicken croquette things. I ordered it and the lady then proceeded to fill a box full of these things. I didn't know what to do so I paid and took them. I had no idea what to do with them, so I will not lie, I put the bag on the sidewalk and walked away....without eating one of them. Can you say awkward foreigher?

why didn't you bring the chicken things back to your house to share with your family?

I have just caught up with all of your posts. This pesky work gets in my way of blogging from time to time. I have to tell you I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new background. Texture is my thing, and this background is wonderful. (You just have to change all of the blue to white and I will be completely happy—aesthetics are everything!) So now that you have this artistic background and are an art major and all, lets make with some art. I want to see what you are doing in school and more photos of what you see and do. Photos of trash in the street, glasses on a table in a cafe, your friends lined up on the sidewalk but maybe just from the knees down. Weird stuff. My kind of stuff. Surprise me.
ReplyDeleteOkay Beth I will work on it I promisse! I took a nice picture the other day of the repulsing amount of raw meat in a bowl on the table in my kitchen. After getting a couple more good shots I'll send them to you!!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!! I absolutely love that you left the bag on the sidewalk. Thank you for making me laugh today :) P.S. I totally would've done the same thing.
