Day 56: Second Language

I'm in the middle of reteaching myself Spanish, mostly because I miss having a second language. I still know the basics, but it was fun being pseudo-fluent. Plus, my first college advisor screwed up my foreign language requirement, and no one bothered to fix it, so I may need to take another class when I go back to school.

It's been weird to sit down on my bed with a workbook and my college Spanish book. I haven't done the homework thing in a while, and I never did it unless I had to. Now I'm doing in voluntarily. Odd...

Today, I am grateful for:

• sleeping in without intending to and having it not be a problem. I woke up feeling so rested.
• getting the next disc of BSG from Netflix. (I watched it all today...)
• an early to bed night with ghost shows on in the background.
• the sunflower in my front garden that came from the packet of seeds they gave out at the Seeds of Compassion Conference that I went to with Erin and Travis. It's a good reminder, and it's impossible to be unhappy while looking at it.
• realizing I didn't lose as much of my Spanish as I thought I did.
