spanish

being a spanish minor, i obviously am required to take spanish classes. the one i'm in now is intermediate spanish 2. it's a three hour course, meeting monday, wednesday and friday for an hour. after that hour in class, i find is EXTREMELY difficult to revert back to english. this is when i realized just how much i love speaking another language. i often find myself thinking in spanish and it takes me a fair amount of time after class to go back to speaking english. as soon as i walked out of class, i was acknowledging someone that walked by me. but i did it in spanish. oops. half of my notes are in spanish, without trying to do so. it has become a part of me.

i have discovered yet another passion in my life. not only do i love teaching children, love having a classroom full of them, but i would LOVE to have hispanic kids in my class. i want to use my spanish. i want to converse. i want to travel to spanish speaking countries. there is a mission trip that the school is doing in may when school gets out and the trip is to Peru. Peru. i believe it's a 12 day trip. to PERU. i want to go so bad i can't even sit still. i've found that you are better at the things that you love to do. this is one of my all time favorite things. i love going to class. i love speaking it.

i text in spanish. i think in spanish. i take notes in spanish. if that's not true love, i don't know what it. before i die, it's on my bucket list to go to at least 2 different spanish speaking countries. i want to experience the culture, eat REAL spanish cuisine. i want to adapt to another lifestyle.

i want to "be" spanish.
