Actually, there wasn’t anything but a few small white clouds when I went out earlier and did my Spanish work in the sun. There is an advantage to not doing school in a classroom ;)

It’s so important to keep perspective when things seem to be falling apart. It’s not even worth explaining how life feels sometimes. Maybe it’s not important to put it into words.

I picked up a few magazines at a second hand store the other day. Flipped through, read some articles. Something has changed, or I just don’t remember what a magazine is supposed to be like. Or maybe I just never picked up these particular magazines before. Or maybe I’ve changed. What I can say is that what I’m reading are no longer just articles on fashion, makeup, the facts of life, or other such sensitive matter divulged in a casual manner, but blatant praising of lust, seduction, and sinful activities. It’s not just topics that aren’t appropriate for mixed company, it’s topics that are so anti-moral that I can hardly believe what I’m reading.

What are your goals? Why have you made the goals you have? I have been reaching terribly short on most things. Right now, life feels like basketball feels to me. I’m too short to reach the net and 95 percent of my shots go far, far away from the basket. This is the quickest way, in my humble opinion, to ruin my blog. Endless rants about the things in life that don’t go as planned. I think I need to restart my journal. So just ignore this paragraph and move to the next ;)

How is everyone’s language learning going? I’m finding with Spanish that the first part of language learning is a very steep hill that must be climbed. Once you progress past a certain point, you can take your time descending a beautiful, pleasant mountain side filled with the blossoms and buds of unknown words and grammar. You feel comfortable starting up a conversation (most of the time!) and know how to ask the other speaker to slow down, or repeat. You can listen to the radio, and while you don’t understand all of the words, you can hear most of the individual words instead of “habloingelsafungdiagelauadifanudlja.” And no, that isn’t real Spanish! I hope this seeming “second part” to learning Spanish doesn’t prove to be a mirage.
