I have just read an email from my mum today and the homesickness is starting to set in. We have now been away for a month and wish that the distance was not so great.
I will chat today about a small problem that has surfaced. Sandra is amazing at Spanish classes. She gets the concepts quicker than everyone else and her recall of Spanish words is the envy of most of us in the classroom. I love her and I think she is amazing.
This is my problem!!!
We have always been equal in intellect. I get things quicker than she does in certain areas of our life but she gets it in others. We are quite equal in this. Sandra has made comment occasionally that she is jealous that I can get concepts quicker than she can, but I honestly feel that we are equal on an intellectual level.
She is kicking my ass when it comes to Spanish and I feel like the “special kid” who is lagging behind the genius. Quasi Modo is trying to talk to Einstein. A commodore 64 is being compared to the super computers at CERN.
I told her in class today that next holiday that we do is science based and there will be numbers – yes big numbers and abstract theory. Ha Ha.
Last weekend was a lot of fun. I couldn’t kayak with the others as my elbow is not getting over the tendinitis but I did manage to take some really good photos of the group kayaking and I did get to ride in the bus and be at the rest stops when they came in.
I am going to post some of the photos on an album so that people can check us out
Hasta Luego
