Musings

Today I was cranky. It happens...more often lately it seems. Seems everything was bothering me today...being by myself all the time...sleeping in possibly the worst bed ever...having very little music on my computer....feeling really isolated....yep, cranky! Then I got to class and had a blast. I make some really stupid mistakes. Today we were learning the imperative, and I told my teacher to "Share me!" when I really meant to say (HONEST!) "share with me!" Miguel is still my teacher, and he laughed for 5 minutes! I also learned how to say "bite me", which he didn't understand as funny until I explained my tatoo! He's not quite sure what to do with me, but we had a good time, and now I'm only marginally cranky.

One reason for the crankiness may be the weather. Today for the first time in weeks we had the sun in the morning, but by this afternoon it was raining again, and is raining still! Turns out I'm leaving just as the weather gets nice. I told one of my classmates I feel like a duck, growing webs!

I just barely brought warm enough clothes. I'm sitting here in long pants and a sweater. It is in the 60's here, especially on rainy nights! Glad I thought to throw in a sweater!

Enough about cranky...take care of yourselves. Love you,
Earline

Hello Ms. Cranky! I have tried sending you an email on your yahoo account and I am not sure that it is going through. I kept getting an error yesterday, but it might have worked today. I have read through all your posting and what an adventure you are having! Sorry it has taken so long for me to visit. Life here has been hectic even in comparison to what it usually is. I don't even communicate with people who are here anymore!

I know there are so many challenges that you are facing, but you really are handling it like a champ! I am so proud of you. You know my idea of roughing it is a three star hotel. You are doing great work there and you are gaining a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to see you and hear all about it in person!
