We still haven´t started a class on time yet. Ah... Barcelona time, such a mystery to my American mind.

Today we learned a little Catalan, it was interesting and I really enjoyed it. We began out study of English grammar today, some people are quite scared but I think I will be okay. I´m actually dreading our teaching practice much more. We have to actually lead classes soon. :(

It was one thing to jokingly teach my classmates how to ¨speak Michigan¨(which apparently sounds like a Kentucky pirate with a cold) but to really have materials that need to be used and lessons to follow is different.

I think I would rather learn languages than teach them. I want to be a life-long-learner not a life-long-teacher.

All those years that I tried to get thinner and I found the answer here in Barcelona! It´s easy really, simply make me unhappy and I lose all interest in food. I´m quite sure that I´ve lost several pounds already, nothing sounds good. I have had one real meal since I got here and it made me sick, so that´s not a real incentive to eat. I´m going to make myself go to the store and get something because walking home from class I got very shaky and dizzy.
