Spanish!!! Again!!!!

So...Lately I've been doing my Biology coursework, and have subsequently finished a whole tube of Wasabi. But now I'm working on my Spanish homework...and it's DULL!!!!! I have to write an essay as research, for Spanish, about a Spanish-speaking region, and I've chosen Mexico City (and yes I've looked it up, it is a region in itself).

Anyway...considering that it's the weekend I should relax with my homework, right? Wrong! With parents who are as thick as they come, they don't understand that I can work to the best of my ability without being bored to death! i.e. READ EVERY BOOK ON A SUBJECT!!!! I know many of you are thinking, reading is good, it's fun! Yes it is fun, and yes I have read books, many actually in my lifetime...BUT IT DOESN'T HELP ME IN MY STUDIES!!!! Usually factual books are just boring and I cannot read one in about a week. I have to read it over several months! This is because it does no good for me! I'd rather learn using my hands (and no innuendo intended). I like practical things, like holding a camera, deciding for myself, whether a certain angle fits a picture, etc. But...THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS!!!!

Thankfully the course I have applied to for University are all (mainly) hands on! I don't think I can just sit there without doing anything productive, besides taking notes! ><

Anyway, I will be returning to my Spanish essay, and hop that it works out for the best. As always do with this as you will, and remember God loves you and will help you with anything you ask Him to.

Spanish Time!!

Hola todos! Hello everyone! I am truly sorry for not updating sooner...I have been busy with trips lately and well...these trips have been taking its toll on me, meaning they make me tired to no end. Anyway, as an update, I've recently been watching a Spanish drama called Isabel, and I must say it is very interesting. The series is loosely based on the struggle Queen Isabel de Castille had to suffer to become queen. The first series focuses on the beginning of her struggle, when she was forced into the Court of her King, her brother Enrique (Henry in English).

Anyway, it is a very interesting series. If you don't know how to speak or hear Spanish, I suggest watching it with subtitles, other than that. Enjoy! Trust me, after a week of watching it, I am really getting into speaking Spanish, however I am a bit nervous when it comes to speaking with my Spanish teachers...you know they can look down on you.

Oh well, qué sera, sera (what will be, will be). Sorry it's such a short post. I'm on the bus and I prefer not letting my phone out for longer than necessary. So as always, do with this post what you will...So please enjoy this image below. God bless.

From continuous studying, the obssession begins.

Angered Spanish Lessons

I understand the necessity of proper grammar and whether or not it is correct to say a certain word...BUT THE FACT THAT SOMEONE HAS THE GALL TO BLAME ME FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT DO IS OUT OF THE QUESTION! I was simply defending a certain exam board because I understand where they're coming from.

To simply put it, a student didn't understand what, or more specifically why, a word had a meaning that was completely different from its literal translation. To be specific "desplazarse" meant (according to the exam board) "to move". I understand his reason, as well as the book.

No here's where things got me wound up, I tried explaining that different words could mean the same thing, and yes I understand he's a native speaker, but I put this in terms of English. He wouldn't let me finish. I was going to explain to him that there are articles in English with these sorts of word plays, this is only because they are using a sophisticated sort of English, but he didn't even consider this...

So what was I supposed to do...yes I could try again, but that would be pointless, because as expressed today, he was closed-minded...so I let it be...AND SILENTLY FUMED...Perhaps the next time I see him, I could just completely ignore him...

That seems like a simple thing to do, but that idea may die down, since being a sanguine my grudges don't hold very long...

We shall see...

So as per usual, make of this rant what you will...

Uplift the Spirit

Well...Since my rant from yesterday had pretty much drained me, I thought perhaps to enlighten the spirit today with a prayer card I made. Of course I used already published pictures and the most famous prayer in the Catholic Church, so I have to say, that these images are not mine, and that I don't own them in anyway, I just wanted to make a pretty prayer card. Also the prayer is in Spanish, so if you don't know what prayer it is, it's the Our Father. So do with it what you will, and many blessings for the day. ^^
