19 de Julio

Life is really too good. I asked myself today why I deserved to be in such a wonderful place where my only care in the world is to learn a fun and interesting language. I am so disgustingly blest. Today I ate lunch with the Father student and his two daughters. The girls are pills but the Father is an interesting and pleasant guy. I learned a lot in class today, now the trick is applying it when I speak out of class. I’m very excited that I was able to begin construction on my makeshift fishing pole. I have very high hopes for it. Today, I cut a piece of cane down to size, made 2 small holes, and Andrew helped me hollow it was about 8:30 p.m. and I went out in search of some sort of thin metal pole to hollow out the cane. There it was, the absolute perfect piece of metal for the job. However, it just so happened to be on a metal roof top about 5 feet out. I called Andrew to observe my discovery and he courageously offered to stretch out onto the roof top and grab the metal rod. It felt like we were on some dangerous mission because it was dark and a little risky. All went as planned and now I need to go in search of a few other materials and my wonderful construction will be finished. The word for today is “Disgustar.” It means to be repugnant or to hate.
