So I definitely had a great time at PV. But I'm not going to write too much about it now because I actually had to write a short essay about it for my class so I'm going to post it on here - google translate?? :D I'll probably add a bunch of comments to it too. I have lots of pics on facebook - more coming soon.
But I just wanted to write and say that I did in case I ... forget someday? jaja jk.
Well, I decided to make a goal. Some people here always try to speak Spanish 24/7 with American friends, and those who know english. Others speak english every time they get a chance. I decided that I want to be the first one. When I first got here, I was speaking so much Spanish because my host family doesn't know english (and I just discovered that my host brothers both know english better than they let on but they did it so that I would speak Spanish, which you know, I REALLY appreciate that.) But every time I was with my American friends I would talk in english. and all too often I was making comparisons to the US. Well, that's just the way I am, sometimes I understand the present by looking into the past. And sometimes that's a good thing, but only sometimes.
I'm rambling now, but I also wanted to say that during my PV trip, one of the girls was always insisting quite strongly that we all talk in Spanish. And, I think my Spanish actually got better over the trip when I thought it was going to get worse, but it was thanks to her persistence which even got annoying sometimes, but I'm glad she did it, and I let her know so.
I only have 6 months here. To be honest, this first month has gone by quite rapidly. and I don't want it to be a waste. I wanna come back with a spanish accent!
it really stinks that I have to take english when I get back - UGHHHH. haha. yeah.. not going to be fun at ALL.
Lots of love and besos,
Stephi
