Saturday night I discovered the national drink of Spain. Well, not the national drink exactly ... but it pretty much only exists in Spain; it's called cuarente-y-tres (43), and it tastes a little bit like vanilla. Nicole got a 43 & coke and I got a malibu & OJ the other night and we shared; it was perfect.
I was just offered more hours at my job and I don't know if I should take them. They're from 6:30-8:00pm M/W which means I wouldn't get home until 9pm those days, in order to go to sleep by 10pm to get up at 6 the next day. In other words, I'd have two 13-hour days and two 15-hour days per week. I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure it's worth it. Advice would be welcome. I wish I had internet at home so I could send this out right now.
Am so glad to have a job!
Language spot:
"Small world, huh?" When you run into someone, for example, you haven't seen in a long time, or whatever. In Spanish, it's "El mundo es un pañuelo." (The world is a handkerchief). Isn't that cute?
ESPANOL
Bueno, no tengo ganas traducir lo que he escrito entonces vamos a hablar de otras cosas, no? Buenas noticias - hoy he hablado con mi compañero de piso y el me dijo que para un piso en buenos aires sería solo 200 euros/mes para 3 personas! Que guai. Y aparte de eso, me gusta mucho mi libro; es de una escritora española y es muy buena. Es en el estilo de unas de las escritoras feministas, con la historia de 4 mujeres y sus vidas. Es muy bien escrito y yo puedo leerlo sin buscar demasiadas palabras, pero al mismo tiempo aprendo mucho, yo creo. OK, ya son las 10:00 y tengo que acostarme.
Puntito lenguaje:
"Small world, huh?" La expresión para cuando por ejemplo encuentras una persona que conoces en la calle, sin querer. En Castellano, es "El mundo es un pañuelo."
