I never thought I would be so bad at understanding another human being. Perhaps I just have good days and bad. Since I woke up this morning and said "Buenas Noches" as a greeting, I think today might be a little bit of a struggle. I'm not saying I have the skill of a Spanish Orator right now, but I think I can do a little better than Good Night.
Perhaps it's because I did a dance workshop last night and practically irrigated the dancefloor with my sweat, thus dehydrating my body and mind to the point of idiocy. I shall drink in abundance today. Perhaps it's because I spoke more English last night than I have in the past three days (and I haven't been silent) which worked against the delicate neuronic pathways, newly-forged in the language center of my brain. Darn you, English, for being my first language!
It's just hard. If you know me, you know that I like to talk...about anything. And this language barrier is barring me from my happy paradise in the sun. Ok, not really. I am perfectly content...I'm three miles outside my comfort zone, but yo soy mucho contento. Did you know they speak Spanish outside my comfort zone? Well, they do.
Ok. Must go study.
