So I have finally begun my Spanish classes. And I´m a bit rusty. I like my teacher though. Her name is Maria Jose. She´s 18 years old and very lovely.
I see that I can be a lot to handle in class. Luckily, I´m her only student. We will be reviewing verbs and their conjugations and then a word will trigger a memory of a story or previous conversation. Por exemplo, she asks me if I know a particular word. Boy do I! Because yesterday I was looking up this very word... because I had a dream... which ties into a story I was telling her yesterday... about people that I´ve mentioned before... and so on and so on. There is much laughter and then when there´s silence, she comes back to the word. Ah yes, we are conjugating verbs. I remember.
The craziness of these experiences helps me appreciate again and more deeply the non-linear web of conversation my friends must navigate all the time with me. I am so thankful for your patience. Please channel it to Maria Jose this week!
