Ain't she the picture of a real life star...
Nose like Rudolph, sneezing, sniffling, red eyes continually running... Oh, I'm such a beauty right now. I went out to get some sun today - can't be losing all my tan and be looking all pasty white when they parental units come home from Crete - and as soon as a ray of sunlight hit me I started sneezing like I'd never be able to stop. I didn't stay out very long.
I finally found my schedule on the linguistic institution's webspace today. It's not looking too bad at all, I have to say.
Monday, 13-15 Structure and function of language
Tuesday, 9-12 Speech communication
Wednesday, 10-12 Structure...
Thursday, 9-12 Speech...
For the first ten weeks. Then we move on to:
Monday, 13-15 Language acquisition
Tuesday, 15-17 Languages of the world
Thursday, 13-15 Language acquisition
Friday, 9-11 Languages of...
I can hardly believe that I'm actually going to get to study this properly. It's not just two months of making sure we know the basis of linguistics so that we can fully take in what we are really there to focus on. This is really it. This is the focus. It's almost too good to be true.
I'm still missing Barcelona, and it took every effort not to order in Spanish at the restaurant the other day.
Films I plan to watch this week to pass the time with my handkerchief:
Child's Play. I haven't seen Chucky in ages.
Abre Los Ojos. Love this film. And Eduardo Noriega is hot.
The Basketball Diaries
Dead Poets' Society. Have to take the opportunity to blame the tears on the cold!
Good Will Hunting
Jurassic Park 3. Because I can't remember it.
Dogma. Chris Rock and Alan Rickman, it doesn't get any better.
Much Ado About Nothing.
Crash and A Clockwork Orange were also on the list, but have now been watched. I'm very efficent.
Lastly, Phil Ritchie is a sexy bastard and the SuperNots should keep him on the show for a while longer simply for my viewing/listening pleasure. If they don't at least I've discovered a new band through the show, and once again, it's not the band that the show is actually about.

Can you feel my jealousy from over here? You oughta should.
Also, you should take every opportunity manageable to maintain the Spanish you've retained, even if it means ordering in Spanish. Or write blog entries in Spanish. Buy some Shakira CDs. Do what it takes 'cos it's not worth losing from lack of practice.
Jurassic Park 3, thanks to Alessandro Nivola's entirely too lickable character, is one I'll probably never forget. :)
Shakira, pah! Has oído 'La raja de to falda', de Estopa? Mi grupo favorit del momento. Flamenco-rock, la escuchamos en clase (para hablar de conjugaciones del pasado), y ahora no puedo parar cantarla.
'Por la raja de tu falda
yo tuve un siniestro con un Seat Panda'
Ah, los celos! Esto era lo que sentí! Vaya...
;)
De 'tu' falda, y 'favorito', no 'favorit'. Necesito corregir las pruebas de imprenta.
No, no la he oido todavia. Hay chicos guapos en el grupo? ;)
Pero como no te gusta a ti Shakira? Yo creo que es una de las mejores artistas internacionales que existen ahorita -- como baila, como canta, yo amo todo lo que hace. Y sus letras -- ay, papi! :D
Bueno, no es mala de ninguna forma, pero no es el tipo de música que eschucho solo para eschuchar. No sé porqué.
Estopa consiste de dos hermanos, pero guapos, pues... Cantan bien! Se puede comprar su música en iTunes, compra 'La raja', a lo menos!
Ah, Spanish... *sigh*
