Verbosity

Necesito aprender

For those of you who don't speak a word of Spanish, the title means "I need to learn." What could she possibly need to learn, you ask? Or maybe the first thought that pops into your mind is "EVERYTHING!!" Well, you may be on to something there.

But what I was really thinking was that I need to learn how to type in Spanish. I've been studying the language for nearly seven years now. Wow . . . I just realized what a long time it's been.

So I had to write two essays in Spanish--one was analyzing a piece of Latin American literature, the other was analyzing the effects of Precolombian cultures on Latin American countries. As my computer has always on internet access, for some reason I had a very hard time actually working. Hmmm, I wonder why? Could it be that I was looking at cels? Changing my gallery around? Downloading more Bleach? XD So, I took it upon myself to cut off my internet connection. I had to actually leave the room. Yes, there is something more addicting than cel collecting.

So I wrote the essays out by hand. Naturally, they needed to be typed up, so I sat down with my scribbles to begin. The problem was, as I read the scribbles in Spanish, most of what I read in my mind came out on the computer in English. O_O Not good, to say the least. So, most of the time spent on my essays I spent chicken-pecking them out onto the computer. All my lovely quick-typing skills wasted. >.<

So, I only got a few hours of sleep last night. Feeling good is not in my vocabulary at the moment. The funny thing is, I understood my 412 Spanish professor more than ever today. Maybe she's the kind that you need to be slightly woozy to comprehend.

Maybe my lack of sleep explains this weblog. It really meanders around without a point, doesn't it? Or maybe it's the fact that I'm in the middle of an "email conference" with some of my classmates from Japanese. We have to come up with the dialogue for a skit, and we're doing it all via email. They're taking forever!!! I mean, it only has to be 12 lines long. I'd much rather be doing homework than waiting around for them to reply.

Don't listen to me--I'd much rather be watching Bleach right now. I just finished 40. Another cliffie!!! I hate those!!! *sniff*

If you need someone to proof your essays, let me know. I majored in Spanish and tutored at the college for a few years. I''d be more than happy to help out(provided it''s not a 20 page essay due the next day...)

I thought the title of this was "Must Have", as in: there''s a cel that you Must Have. XD

Oh and, "need to be slightly woozy to comprehend"? LMAO!!! Oh yeah, I remember teachers like that! :D

And bad news, all of Bleach is cliffies. Just get used to it. >_< :D

And it''s all sooooo good!
