Today at school was nothing special. We had an English oral
report due, and yesterday like 7 people had asked me to write their oral
reports for them, so today I got a lot of thank yous and a lot of other people
asking me to check theirs and listen to their pronunciation. It is kind of
shocking for me how bad I am at English now. I’m sure you’ve all noticed from
this blog that the quality of my writing has gone down. That’s probably because
half of these words flow into my head in Spanish and I have to then translate
them into English. It’s the same with grammatical structures and the way I set
up sentences. I think more in Spanish than in English. It’s going to be embarrassing
when I return to the US and am in the middle of a sentence and spit out a few
words in Spanish instead of English, but I’m sure I’ll readjust quickly. After
school, this kid Gabriel asked if he could walk me down the road and wait for
my collectivo with me. We walked together and talked. I think he’s kind of
weird and a huge flirt, but he is also an interesting guy. He went on exchange
to Japan last year, and he gets so many props for that because I honestly can’t
imagine going to a country where the language and customs are so incredibly
different. I got home and worked on my blog and some college stuff for a while,
and then went for a run, and then came home to eat once with Lilian.
