Sunday we leave for Iguazu Falls and I'll tell you I'm ready to go! Yesterday, we finished up finals for our second trimester, so from now until March 10 I'm (basically) on break. One week travelling up to the north of Argentina, and the next week being Spring Break. Yes, I'm feeling better, and yes, I am still learning Spanish.
In fact, next trimester, we have the option of taking an internship (pasantÃa) for one credit hour (7.5 hours a week) in one of a few options. There is the teaching English internship, one for business, and one for translating letters, among others. I chose to do the translation one because of how much I think I'll learn. I haven't been doing very well at retaining the vocab from the books I have been reading. Perhaps because my dedication to studying this past trimester has been up and down like a 6 year old's yo-yo. With that in mind, I hope that the repetition of new words that is sure to occur in these letters will help them stick in my mind better. Also, I'm waaaay better at writing in Spanish than I am at speaking. Who knew?
Happy Sabbath to all. I'll leave you with this beautiful poem to let you think. Click the link to go to the poem.
