Aprender

So living in a country where I don't speak the language is a very interesting situation. I am often confused and sometimes frustrated because even if I can understand what someone is saying to me I can't respond. Or I know half of how to respond, but I can't complete my thought.

There are tons of new things: food, customs, greetings, and social situations. All of that is awesome and I REALLY can not wait to start my Spanish class so maybe I can meet some people and have some sort of social life.

It's hard in these situations not to want everything to happen at once, because of course I do. I want to have friends, speak Spanish, play for the volleyball team, and know how to get around on my own. But for now I will take one step at a time and try to enjoy the learning experience as much as possible.

You don't see this in the states. Jamon is basically a salted mountain pigs leg. And there is citrus fruit all over the place here!
