Finally an Update!

I have been really bad about writing lately, and I apologize for that.  Its partly because I always feel like I need photos to make my posts more interesting, and I haven't been taking many photos lately.  I'm not sure why other than I feel a little awkward taking photos of people that I work with or just met . . . and it's hard to take photos of yourself.
In any event, that may just be an expectation that I have to get over.
So I have now been studying Spanish for 3 weeks.  For some reason that sounds like so much longer than it actually is.  And I feel like I should know Spanish better than I do.  Perhaps I just have higher expectations of myself than are realistic.  We just learned past tense on Friday, but only for verbs ending in -ar.  But we only really learned how to conjugate -ar verbs in the present tense, too, so I guess that fits.  The nice thing is that class is mostly all in Spanish, so that is definitely beneficial.
Other than that, life is pretty easy.  I go to work from 8:00 in the morning until 2:10 in the afternoon, then I have homework that I do in the evening.  But I'm basically free to do whatever I want from 2:30 (factoring in time to travel home) until I go to bed at night!  I would have to say that one of the best jobs in the world must be studying a language.  It sure beats paying to learning a language!!!
Today was a pretty long day for me.  I left my home around noon and didn't get back until nearly 9:00 pm.  Gizmo was really freaked out.  I think he thought something happened to me.  I'm usually only gone a few hours on Sundays, and even on a normal day I'm not gone that long at one time.
Anyway, I hope this isn't too boring for you all.  And I do plan on doing some back entries because I had a great time over the holidays.  That's just where the lack of pictures has affected my motivation to write...
