Okay, I have a selfish request. I know what you're thinking. How could a humble person of my caliber actually ask something of others? Oh stop it, you're making me blush :) According to my blog, I only have fifteen followers. Two of which are myself, because I didn't know what I was doing at first. So that drops it down to thirteen. But then I will hear from someone that they are reading my blog or that someone told them they were reading my blog. So my one request is the following: if you are following me and reading this regularly, could you PLEASE follow it? It's not that difficult to do. I just want to know who is actually reading this, that's all. Please and thank you! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....
I have finally come to terms with my Spanish class. Today after work, I stayed and a friend/co-worker helped me. She also commented how difficult my work is and that it is a VERY advanced level of Spanish. Anyways, I actually did fairly well with this lesson. Plus, it's always nice to have free lessons! My co-worker is bilingual in Spanish and French and I have been wanting to pick French up for quite some time. They always say that the second foreign language is easier to learn! So, once I get everything mastered in Spanish, then she is also going to teach me French! I'm so excited!!!! I also received a paper back in class today and I am happy to report my paper was not bleeding red like it normally does!
This afternoon I had to go back to the doctor's office because my ear has still not healed completely. I still have pressure and can hear myself talk :( It feels clogged. So, I went back and he looked in my ears and said I have wax build-up and he wanted to refer me to a specialist. I convinced him to see if cleaning out my ears first would work before I went to the specialist. Who of course, probably won't speak Spanish. Not that I couldn't do it, its just that there are some things I prefer to do in English. So, I have to put drops in both ears for the next week. Next Tuesday (because Monday is a holiday!), I will go back and he will do one of those syringing procedures with hot water. I hope this works because I don't want to visit the ENT doctor :( I do not like these new drops at all. I guess they are already working, because I feel the pressure inside my ear, but it's uncomfortable :(
On the way to the doctor's office, I took the metro from school. The walk to get out of the metro station was a journey in itself. Up escalators, down more escalators, through another platform, up more escalators, up a moving sidewalk thingy, more escalators, until alas, finally, the exit. It was like a neverending maze.
Why is it that Kentucky is always in the news for awful things? Can we ever make the news for good reasons without all of the foolishness and debauchery? National news, that is. The Rand Paul organizer from Bourbon County stomping on the head of the moveon.org activist who was a WOMAN?! Really, that's just uncalled for. Two men pulled her down and assaulted her. I don't care if you are republican, democrat, libertarian, or apathetic. Violence is never correct. Way to go Kentucky!!!!
On a sad note, did anyone see where Paul the Octopus passed away? So sad!!!! He is a national hero in Spain!
Quote of the Day: "I like my money where I can see it....hanging in my closet."
Spanish Word of the Day: dolor de oido -ear infection. (I thought this was appropriate, given my situation!)
Prayer Request: that my ear will heal and I won't have to go see the ENT doctor
