CHANGES

So, as I mentioned here previously, I decided to go through a Spanish immersion class porque I am tired of playing around with learning it and just want to get it going to where I'm not so scared and nervous and dumb anymore. I'd like to do one out of the country, but right now's not the best time for that, so I found this program in the City, close to my home actually, that runs a full day class every Sunday through this month of May. Last Sunday was my first day. And it was a doozy. I was so overwhelmed with the constant thinking and thinking and thinking that by the end of the day I was just completely drained of energy. It was really good for me, but oh-so-overwhelming. It's just a small group of about 7 so we get lots of "on" time and conversational practice. The problem was there was never an "off" time in that the breaks were incredibly short, say 5 minutes, and they and lunch were also in Spanish so there was no relaxation. Again, it was good for me, but it wore me out. I'm nervous about this Sunday's. But I know it'll be better. And I'm excited about it too.
