Spanish classes are a little Goldilocks situation. Thursday class is a bit much; Tuesday class not enough. Unfortunately, there are no other choices. The group was nice, although I think many won't be back. The teacher is a 78 year old woman who speaks Spanish with a deep southern accent and wasn't even a little prepared for class. All over the place with very basic information and if you didn't know any Spanish you'd be totally lost. I don't think she knows a lot of Spanish herself. It was strange, but she said this is a volunteer teaching gig -- might explain it.
I'll head back to the Thursday class for another try AND make myself practice regularly.
The class was at another library and I didn't like it very much. I had a book recommendation from a friend and I noticed the book was shelved at this library so I checked out in-person -- first time "shopping" the shelves for a book. They have a super small bookstore, but it houses all the special donations. Beautiful old books and if I needed any for decor this would be the place to go. I was tempted, believe me, but the last thing I need is more books.
I finished this book and it was good. The plot had lots of moving parts, but it was easy to follow and came together well. Solid, believable twists and turns.
We finished The Pitt -- excellent. I thought we had 1 episode left, but we had 3. Had a fun TV night together and still time to finish my book. Nice way to spend a rainy evening.
I have lunch with my cancel friend today (looks like it's a go though). My intention is to level up the conversation. I'll report back. Practice will make me better. I like this little experiment.
Hope your week is going well. Later gators.
