okay, so today´s word feels personal. can´t write much, but i´m feeling (on this fourth day of class) more confused, inept, and plain old stupid than i did a week ago. yes, it´s all good. expectations adjusted, mistakes appreciated. if it were easy most of the world would be bilingual. wait a second, most of the european world is bilingual. ach. anyway, you know what i mean.

tune in soon for a more upbeat post. i´m sure it´s on the way.
