Phew..

Today was a lot better than yesterday. I got to sleep, I got all three meals.. I got to go through the whole day in one timezone.. What more could I really ask for??

I'm thinking that the class that I was falling asleep in yesterday is not only going to be really helpful, but also really awesome. The professor is really easy to understand and is really helpful and it is generally just a good class. The class is called "The Spanish Language", and it is supposed to teach us the finer points of the language. Not necessarily the really difficult things to say, but just focus on the things that we already know and clean them up a bit. Today we looked at the different verb tenses and analyzed what makes them the way they are. For the most part it was really obvious but the difference between the (hold on, this part is really only going to be interesting to spanish speakers.. sorry) the preterite and the perfect is really very subtle. She made us see that it is really all about perspective and that we need to be looking at that more carefully when we talk and write.

Another thing that I thought was cool was that when you dont know or dont care to tell someone who a person is that you're talking about, you just the third person plural.. I guess just sort of how we sometimes say, "whoever it was, they just left" or something like that... Sorry I have no ability to think of examples...

Anyway.. I've been working on this blog off and on for the past 5 hours or so since before dinner.. which was terrible once again.. the pork was all right but I almost threw up whatever those cold cooked vegetables were that I ate..

Goodnight
