Espanish

I was able to talk to people on the phone in Spanish today, more than once! This is a huge accomplishment for me. When I first came here, I tried to answer in Spanish, but I ended up just saying "sí... sí... uno momento por favor" before passing the phone off to whomever I thought they wanted to speak with.

Now, thanks to a suggestion from Camby, I answer the phone in English. I think this causes people to speak Spanish slower and more clearly, as they can sense that I'm not a native speaker, even though they continue to speak in Spanish. Today I spoke with a businessman about a TN he has taken, and guy who was interested in going on exchange with AIESEC, and a girl who ended up being Scottish so we spoke in English.

Now I just have to learn how to answer the phone and talk in Spanish without the rest of the team giggling behind me, lol.

Where is my life going?

Sorry for the total lack of updates recently. Things have been super busy since Start Up, with Recruitment Weekend and IC taking up most of my life. I promise many retroactive entries for you to know what has happened in my life.

I'm still in India, a few more days until we return to Madrid. It's been a wild few weeks, and I'm very tired. I've seen a lot though, and I can't wait to share it all with you. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but just soaked it all up. Any pictures I have taken (or others have taken of me) will inevitably end up on facebook. :p
