Happy November! I can’t
believe it’s already November…and that now there are just two months left in
the year. Craziness! It seems like I say this every year, but time really is
flying. Today it’s raining pretty hard.

There was a thunderstorm that came in
last night and hit some areas pretty hard, but that was just a warm up. A
larger storm is in the area now, some flights at the airport were cancelled and
now there’s lots of rain. It’s definitely one of those days where you just want
to stay inside & curl up on your couch and watch TV or read a book. I would
love to do that, but nope, I have to actually leave my apartment and venture out
in the rain. I’m meeting with my Spanish tutor for 2 hours today. We’re working
on some of my assignments for class (papers that are written in Spanish) and I’m
sure she has lots of feedback for me. Learning a language is challenging but I
like it. Sometimes it’s frustrating, sometimes I realize how basic my Spanish
is, and other times I get excited when I remember something that I learned.
Overall it’s like a big bag of emotions, changing from day to day. I do feel
like I could be working harder on at learning more and hope to do so in the
upcoming month.
One other update from this week: On Monday evening I went to Chinatown
after class for dinner with friends. The food was yummy and the restaurant was
mostly authentic. It somewhat reminded me of my trip to China. It was so nice
to have multiple dishes for dinner instead of just one, how we do in the US. And
it reminded me of my team that I worked with in China and I have to say that I
miss those guys. The best part was the dumplings. I LOVED these while I was in
China and they were great at this restaurant. I want to go back to Chinatown in
the daytime so I can see more stores & restaurants.
