spanish story

11am Tuesday 22 May 2001

Had fun in our first Spanish III class last night, and there's a woman there who is so so cute! She smiled toward me a few times (I think (hope?)) and when we all went to the cafe thing for our break, I was careful to say Wende and I are engaged, and I rubbed Wende's back a bit while she sat next to me.

At the beginning of class, we paired up and interviewed our partners in español, then introduced our new friend to the group. I paired up with Maria and presented a few interesting things about her.

When it was my turn to be interviewed, she was aking stuff about me "why no shoes?" "where do you live?" etc. Our instructor said, "tell her about one of your adventures."

Cuando tengo cinco años, mis padres me da a los elefantes. Vive con los elefantes todo vida. Los elefantes comen cachuates, y yo come uvas.

Un dia, cuando tengo cartorse años, fui con un mono en un camionetta a la tienda. Compre cereal, leche, y hielo for la leche. El mono manejo la camionetta a regresar.

Hizimos un nueva bebida con los uvas, la leche, el hielo, y el cereal, con los pies de los elefantes. Vendimos las bebidas, y mucha gente les gustan las bebidas. Gani mucho dinero, y dani el dinero a los niños pobres, por que soy un angel.

I know there are a lot of verb screwups in the story, but basically it says I was raised by elephants. They ate peanuts and I ate grapes. One day I drove to the store with a monkey. We purchased cereal, milk and ice. The monkey drove back. We made a new drink with grapes, milk, ice, and cereal, with the elephants' feet. We sold the drink and people really liked it. I got a lot of money and gave it to the poor children because I am an angel.

At the end of the night, I rode the elevator down with Wende and Gabriella (that's her spanish name; I think her real name is Rachel) as we talked about class. When Wende and I got to her truck, Wende was all, "what are you going to do when Evita comes back and you'll have two girlfriends in Spanish??? (*)

"What?" I played.

"There's only two girls who you will ride down the elevator for."

She tagged me there. Yup. Usually I run down the stairs and meet (or beat) them at the bottom.

"Um,... I'm not sure," I admitted. "I might break up with Evita."

(*) Three counting Wende, but Wende doesn't count because she is my one and only real girlfriend.
