Spanish lessons this week went swimmingly, but are now over. I slowly progressed from sounding like a caveman (i.e. "Coffee.") to sounding like a 2 year old (i.e. I want coffee, please). However I am finding it frustrating that I still have no personality in Spanish, and even worse no sense of humour. Unless you count the jokes I made about riding on llamas, which I don't. But which my Spanish teacher seemed to enjoy.
Besides from llamas, whenever I was asked to make up example sentences in Spanish they always seemed to involve Lady Gaga. This is because I had her mug staring at me all lesson from the cover of the lovely notebook that I bought from the market on Monday. I wrote in it all the millions of things I tried to squish into my brain over the last week. And I feel it added a little something something to my lessons.
Anyway apparently I just need to practise speaking now. I might also do a few more lessons in Ecuador or Colombia. For now I will have to be content with: 'I ride my llama while listening to Lady Gaga' but one day I will be able to discuss THE zeitgeist.
And in other news. I had a hair cut yesterday.
I know. Alert the media. I just thought it was kind of worth mentioning since I hadn't done any hairdressing vocab in class yet so there was sort of a breakdown in communication. Basically the hairdresser gave me an undercut and now I look like a lesbian. It's all good though. It's only hair and will eventually grow back and I will like boys again. At least I didn't have to make boring conversation with her about how her cat got run over by the lawn mower or my impending spinsterhood.
Anyway. Must go. Very busy and important.
Peace and love and Lady Gaga. X
