Hola Vosotros!!

Hello my fellow Trek bloggers.

So just in case the slew of blog posts on other blogs, and the weekly onslaught of e-mail up-dates isn’t enough, I thought I’d post here just a tad of what is up with me.

I’m in Spain. Still. And it’s okay. You know I love me some Español, and I have been learning A LOT! Believe me guys, there’s so many ways we could have screwed up linguistically in Mexico and didn’t. (To my recollection.) Would you like a witty anecdote?

If you’re getting stories from me in other ways, you may have already heard this one. It goes a little something like this: Here in Spain there’s the traditional language exchange between internationals and Spanish natives that we call “intercambios.” It was on my very first intercambio when this little mishap occurred. I was giving them a tour of the city, strangely enough, because they are rather new to the Salamanca area. And when we got around to the Plateresque façade of the old University, we got to talking about my school. They asked me if the classes were quality, and I said, “Yeah, the teachers are good.” Only that’s not what I said, because I used “estar” instead of “ser.” What I really said was that they were all very attractive.

But besides this, which you learn rather fast, it’s going well. I’m looking forward to going home, though I KNOW I’ll miss Spanish. Which is good. I mean, why study it if I could live without it?

But in other news, you know I like me some arte as well. And right now I’m debating an internship with 2100 Productions, among other things, for this coming summer. So you can all be praying for me, and my portfolio that will undoubtedly be developing this coming semester.

Plus, God is good. I’ve got enough Christian community to last me the next 3 weeks, and I’m learning a ton about myself, and how I could be more just and loving.

Missing you all! And have a good time at Urbana for me!!
