i am feeling completely foreign in my own skin, trying to master a semesters worth of spanish verbs, sustantives, adjectives and the such. its hilarious. its so true that it is a lot more difficult for an adult to acquire a new language. when i was younger, i told myself that when i go to university, i want to learn a language, thinking that i had no time when i was younger. who was i trying to kid?
i spent my precious 'recreation minutes' (i.e. time off books) translating juanes'
la camisa negra. what i thought would be a fun and enlightening activity turns out to be atrocious, confidence destructing, and tiring. okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but i never thought popular music would be so indirect and complicated. i thought it would be
corazons and whatnots. not death, or bewitched-ness, or grief. such difficult vocab. grrr.
anyhoo, i did enjoy it. more than i thought, honestly. its teriifying how much i dont know, and how unprepared i am for my spanish test on tuesday. whoever said spanish was an easy subject LIED. either that or im extremely linguaphobic, whichevers the case. but bottomline is, it was nice. i like the language despite its irritating bits, and now im just thinking slightly bilingually, which is good because in a way im adapting to my two day acquisition plan for this language. har har har.
yo creo que soy feliz porque aprendo algo nuevo. quiero mas hora en mis dias. quiero estar una mejor estudiante, una mejor hija, una mejor persona. si, yo quiero.
anyways im going to munch some nasi daging and continue hablo espanol.
besos. (kisses)
