....... la semana estaba muy dificil para mi. mi clase es bastante dificil. me gustaria cambiar mi clase para una clase mas facil pero yo tengo dos dias mas solamente.

hoy, me quise llorar porque yo tenía mucha fructracion. al contrario, me quise ir a la casa.
¡dos dias mas de la escuela! ayyyyyeee... yiii.... yiiii....

i´ve hit a wall with my spanish. my brain is shutting down. i´m in a class that i feel is too advanced for me. all the people in my class have been taking spanish classes in their respective countries and lived in latin america for an extended period of time. i feel like the slowest kid in my class. it feels sucky, but i know it´s good for me. i´m learning a lot and i can speak better, but i still have a hard time understanding almost everything people say. despacio, por favor! there are so many new words and verbs to memorize. it´s tough, for reals...

i have 3 hours of grammar a day and after i have two hours of conversation class. conversation class is tough. we read stories of mayan and mexican history way too advanced for me. after reading these stories we have to answer opinion type questions or create our own stories. i have a whole notebook full of new words.

por ejemplo hoy, yo escribe en mi cuaderno...

la hoguera- bonfire
las chozas- shacks
el ladrillo- brick
la receta- prescription
pecador-sinful
sacerdote-priest
caña- fishing pole

sabiduría- wisdom
sastrería-tailor
papiro- papyrus
forastero-outsider, stranger
forajido- fugative, outlaw

tirar, lanzar, arrojar, echar- to throw

despuestas alrededor, suministraban, abastecian, proveían, desempeñado, desarrollaron...

what? i´m really suppose to know all these words? because everyone else did! that´s not even a tenth of the words written today in my book of new words!

i´ve spoken only spanish pretty much the whole time i´ve been here. but today, i just want to stop talking. mi cabeza esta muy cansado. yo pienso sobre mis ultimos dias en mexico y me gustaria ir a la playa y cuba. no me gustaria estudiar y hacer mi tarea. pero yo tengo miedo que perderé mi español cuando yo regresaré a estados unidos. i don´t want to lose the spanish i´ve already learned and have worked hard to learn.

comicó- en clase, yo no pude recordar palabras en ingles y cuando hablaba con un estudiante nuevo en ingles mi ingles era muy malo. i talked english today with a new student and my ingles was broken and out of order. crazy beautiful that i was actually thinking in spanish first and translating into english. the other night i had a dream partly in spanish! ¡que bueno!
