Dia Numero 19 MIercoles!

Subjuntivo!
We are studying the subjunctive in my classes now....one of the more difficult concepts to master since the tense doesn´t really exist in the English language. We added a new woman to our class yesterday...and until now she is the only person I have met that I truly despise! ¡Me molesta UN CHINGO¡ (She bothers me alot!) She is a nurse from Chicago and pretty much thinks she knows everything about spanish. Me and the older woman I have made friends with (Carolina) glance at eachother rolling our eyes. I had to put my head down because I was laughing at her! Carolina actually asked her to stop answering the questions that she had posed to the maestro...haha! Also, as a cutlure Latinos are very annimated when they talk often times making noises and hand gestures....well she has taken this to an extreme pulling out some of the most ugly guttural noises I have every heard. I´m kind of embarassed to be affiiated with her as an American...you can tell that the Mexicans think she is a piece of work! Other American woman I met at school quickly asked me if I had diarrhea after 2 minutes of knowing her...what are we (Americans) thinking? I think Carolina has gone so far as to ask the head officials that we not be placed in a class with her again! I am really enjoying my conversation class with Carolina and my old professor Hugo. We have had some interesting conversations mixing politics, cultural differences, naughty words, and bodily functions all into one 1.5 hour class. Carolina is a very sweet woman and has been somewhat "motherly" offering me advice when I was sick, walked with me to try to find a new hotel, and dramamine for my potential trip to Puerto Escondido! I have been so impressed with everyone I have met so far....everyone is lusting for adventures and seeking out the unknown. For example, Carolina is in her 60´s and beginning a journey to learn a new language and travel all over Mexico all by herself! How cool to meet people that have such desires and motivation! I feel empowered to do something cool after I return...what that is...not quite sure...maybe teach English somewhere? I am excited to know that you can be by yourself in a foreign place and meet such cool people! ¡Que Suerte Tengo! Adios....Besos...Hasta Pronto!
