Hope everyone's weeks are going good!! This week was pretty slow for me but it was good! We moved houses today which was really crazy cause we only had today to do it, but the good news is that the veiw of the ocean is way better. Our bedroom has this sweet patio that overlooks everything. But the house is super dirty, so that's awesome.
My Spanish is coming along, but it's coming slowly but surely. It's getting a lot easier to understand what people are saying and it's easier to respond. With the words I know, I just say them without thinking about it so that's getting easier. I'm speaking a lot faster then I was when I first got here. But something I really need to be working on is my conjugations. Those are rough for me. Also there's a ton of little things and rules that I could fix, but those will come over time as I study and listen to how people talk. Tons of things in Spanish don't make a lot of sense in English and I'm trying to make sense of them when people are talking so that's rough. But it's coming faster than I expected, so that really good. Thanks to the Gift of Tongues of course.
Throughout the weeks tons of things happen and I can't ever remember them to write them for you guys. But something happened the other day that was really funny and scared the crap out of me. This dog attacked us. It didn't bite us or anything, but almost. It was a big agressive dog. I would just reach down and act like I'm picking up a rock and it would back off but not for a ton of time. This other dog thought it was brave and joined in, but I hit it with a rock and it ran away but the other dog was a sucker. I didn't try to throw any rocks at it and I don't know why.... I should have. But it was good. My comp laughed at me.
The food here is so good. There's a ton of weird food mixtures but they are always good. Some good foods are encebollado. I don't know how to spell it so my comp just helped me. Also seco de pollo is good and ceviche. He also just helped me with that last word but those are really good. Also, really the only real meal I get a day is lunch so I'm always starving and it feels like I'm always just fasting.
Anyway, the week was good and all is going well. It's getting hotter and hotter every day I feel like, but oh well, what do you expect. Alright, love you all.... bye!!
