I Didn´t Know You Felt That Way About Learning Spanish!

Mama Ceclia is a traditional woman. She´s lived in the same quaint apartment for 40 years with a gorgeous wooden roof and paintings decorating every wall. She loves dogs and has raised them her whole life. You can see in her eyes how much she loves her 2 daughters when she talks about them. She´s actually a pediatrician by trade, but it seems that now she spends more time hosting travelling students. She is deeply religious and often talks about God, and though it´s sometimes creepy when I come home for lunch to hear a recording of some religious oration repeating the same religious phrase over and over and over again for the full length of a 90 minute cassette tape (this happens every day), it´s clear that her faith has made her a kind and generous person. So what if her cooking gets slightly repetitive. Perhaps it´s just the same amount of love that she puts into every meal that makes it taste so similar. Either way there is no question that Mama Cecilia is a truly generous soul.

So you can imagine my dismay as I discovered today in Spanish class that I had been telling Mama Cecilia for 3 days straight how HORNY I was to learn Spanish! Aye chihuahua! Apparently here "excitado" means horny and not, as I am really wishing it did, excited. Well, shit. Could have certainly done without that.
