I woke up before my alarm today, feeling mildly refreshed, which is a first. Spanish class was a bit rough (I had started feeling good about my speaking skills because I was able to talk my way through a bunch of small interactions in San Cristobal, but as soon as I got back to the complex verb tenses, things were hard again. In general, my days cycle between feeling super excited because I’m learning so much, and feeling dumb as shit because there’s so much I still don’t understand). Afternoon classes went well. My beginner class is learning about animals, so we drew lots of pictures and talked about which animals were our favorites; Advanced class is all about geography this week; and in Conversation class we read an article about the pros and cons of space tourism. In all, a fun day of classes.
Afterwards I cooked up some eggs and spoke with a friend for like two hours on the phone. We hadn’t talked in a while, and it was really nice to catch up.
I think my mental stamina has been improving; these last few days of class, I haven’t feel quite as braindead when I got home. Hopefully this trend continues. I have way more books to read now, so I need all the focus I can get.
