El preterito, el preterito, el preterito…y trabajo.

Posted on

I had an incredibly busy day today. School en la mañana (and I got in a little bit of trouble because I didn’t do mi tarea, I misunderstood Miriam when she said to make flashcards to study the present tense…piensé que era opcional. I did study, but not with flashcards). and I also put together a calendar layout in caveman español para los payasos. I wasn’t really in trouble. She’s really sweet and very patient. It’s really funny, we start out with conversations before verb drills and exercises and today she started talking about men again. Hysterical! Same problems everywhere! I also read a Spanish newspaper with her and I understood so much, and I really do understand almost everything she says to me.  Sin embargo, it is possible that she may be speaking to me like I’m a toddler.

Marta Luisa en el mercado. Not the best pic of the bunch, but the only one I could get to upload!!

After school, I ran home for lunch—panqueques para desayuno y pollo con arroz y verduras para almuerzo—then I had to run to El Infinito to pick up a program for the clowns, but it wasn’t downloaded yet, then I ran to work, FINISHED SELECTING PICTURES, HOORAY, then had to run back to El Infinito to pick up the download, then I ran here to post, which I’m going to wrap up in a few minutes so I can run home to eat la cena con mi familia guatemalteca. Estoy muy cansada. And after dinner, tengo que hacer mi tarea!

The weather was a little better today, only a spot downpour in the middle of the afternoon, but it did rain all night. I’ll have more time tomorrow to post about some of what’s going on here.

Hope you’re all well hasta luego!

        1. Hey honey, I just got all your comments. During the day I can´t really check my email all that much because I have five hours of classes in the a.m.

          We´re two hours behind you. Also in order to control what gets posted on here, I look at comments and approve them. Sometimes I can do it on my little Charm, but this week I´ve been running around alot. Also, just want to make sure comments are rated G (or no higher than PG-13). Keepin´ it clean…

          And you´re right, I´m sure I´ll just go back to being plain ol´ Tricia when I get back home!

    1. Hola mi sobrina linda!

      That is so funny…can you imagine me giving Spanish classes? I wonder if that comes up because of my blog. I would love for you to be with me right now, but probably not here. There´s too much unrest and I would be worried about you all the time. The one thing I wish you could see is GORDO! I´m going to post a picture today just for you, mini meme, little miss giggles. He is so so so so cute. I love him…he looks a little like Houmas (who doesn´t?) and he is so playful and cuddly. Yes, my mama can cook and you would love the food, lotsa rice and beans, yum yum yum. Glad you´re getting some Spanish cooking from Panera mama too. I miss you so so so so so much, especially our phone calls. I am going to have to try and call you through the computer one of these days just to hear your voice. I knew I saved those voicemails for something!

      Lotsa lotsa lotsa love,
      xoxoxo
