Hola a todos,

Nothing really happened today except for the following:

1. I watched Star Wars in Spanish. Even better than "Luke, soy tu padre" was the "Te amo" "Lo sé" exchange. Brilliant.

2. We learned this rhyme to help with pronunciation of the "rr" sound in Spanish (note the "r" at the beginning of "Rápido" is pronounced as "rr"): "Erre con erre cigarro / Erre con erre carril / Rápido corren los carros / Por la linea del ferrocarril."

3. I have a huge crush on my Medios Mixtos profe, Falco. He has long curly black hair and seemed genuinely interested in my collage (which kicks ass, by the way. Think Sgt. Pepper meets soundtrack to my life). He even wanted to know to which Native American tribemy ancestors belonged. Way cool. There are only four people in the class, all girls. Two gringas (Annie and I) and two Ecuatorianas. Our next project is a "poetic act."

That's all, I think.

Chao chao,

Gina.
