I think this is a new record for me! 11 days without blogging! Welcome to the last two weeks of the semester...<crying emoji> I suppose a lot has happened since the last time I was on here...I went home for Easter, we sold our house (well, not *officially* but we have a family who intends to buy it on May 30th), and I learned my new favorite Spanish expression: Tanto nadar para morir en la orilla. It literally means "Swim so much to die on the shore" but it's the English equivalent of "So much for nothing". I also learned that in Puerto Rico they change the phrase "por si acaso" (just in case) to "por si amosca" which literally means "for if the fly". I learned all of this last Monday at Edison High School, where another volunteer and I were doing an informal tutoring session with a boy from Puerto Rico who's learning English. When he found out that we were both learning Spanish, I told him about saying that I looked like my potato instead of my dad in Spanish class because I pronounced "papa" with the accent on the wrong "a". I also discovered that in Puerto Rico the word for "pope" is "papa upa". Just in case you needed to know. ALSO, the trees finally have leaves on them, PTL! Just two more weeks and I'll be FREE!!! Three papers to write, two to edit, and one exam...time to sleep.
