Not sure why but I feel quite tired this morning even after have a full night’s sleep.  Could be because yesterday myself and two other students did a bus trip to Dolores Hidalgo and San Miguel de Allende.  It was a fun trip.  The highlight for me was the museum of José Alfredo Jiménez.

There were only four days of school last week due to the holiday for independence day.  Monday night there was a small party at the school with teachers and students, home made pazole rojo, music including ranchera classics, singing, dancing, and warm friendships.  I was the first to leave at 2am, others partied all night.

I decided to take four classes per day rather than three.  It’s a little bit more money for the school and fun education for me.  My Spanish comprehension is very good now and I’m quite comfortable speaking.  I’m actually making conversation just for practice.  However, I’m speaking quite badly making grammatical errors all the time.  Sometimes I’m quite confused and forget simple stuff.  I’m trying to program myself to think about sentence construction and grammar while speaking.

It’s a lot of work and frustrating but exactly why I’m here.
