And how was your weekend?

Sorry I didn't post. Somehow I got overly busy with nothingness and so forth. Wasted a lot of time this weekend doing nothing. But really enjoyed yesterday afternoon hanging out with Jessie and reading and chatting and just hanging.

My final Spanish class on Sunday was terrific-- including the fact that our teacher secretly gave us a list of palabras groceras (bad words) in Mexican Spanish. I specifically had asked her to help me learn those because one of the main reasons I'm learning Spanish is to further my work with youth programs, and well, we all know that youth often speak with course language. I need to understand what's being said in order to fully understand life in the real world. So I much appreciated that list. Unfortunately, it's only good with Spanish use by those from Mexico. Each country, as is true with most languages, have their own types of cultural language (i.e. "bloody" in England means something different than here). But at least it's a beginning. David, are you ready for me? I'm ready to learn all the bad words from Puerto Rico now. Ha.
