i love spanish.

i love spanish. and i think this is hilarious.
it makes me want to take another spanish class.

i am pretty good at understanding about 80% of the conversations i hear. maybe that percantage is a little high. im not so good at speaking.
although my pronunciation is good.
example: a few times in the cafeteria i will ask for carne asada tacos. and i say it with a real good accent and then the servers ask me if i speak spanish. because i sound so prefessional.

my awesome grandma weinsttein taught spanish kindergarden in north hollwood for the longest time. and she is pretty much fluent. it was always fun for me when we would go out to lunch or something and she would talk to somone in spanish, because people dont expect to see a little old jewish lady speaking spanish.

luck of the irish.

this week i had two major projects due.

in my lit class i had to present my final paper. you might remember i was up late procrastinating.
well the presentation was all good. most people seemed to be genuinely interested. because after about a million speeches about downs syndrome, autism, no child left behind, the importance of pe, welding, and classical music who wouldnt want to hear about graffiti.
honestly tho, some of the topics were interesting.

but i HATE when people read off the power point. ughh! seriously. there is no need to read straight off the screen to a class of university students.

so my most embarrassing moment is...
we have to evaluate each person who gives a speach and there is this boy in my class and he is from ireland and he is on the soccer team (run on sentence much?). his topic was the importance of welding. but every time he said welding it was actually weldin' and it was so adorable. so my evaluation of him totally said "his irish accent is so cute"

and i turned that in to my teacher. what was i thinking?

second try.

so i totally forgot my password for my old blog.
old as in one post old.
i tried to recover my password. turns out i didnt use my real email address. so im just starting over.

and i am going to copy and paste my old post here.

blog.

yep. im jumping on the weinstein blog bandwagon.
how embarrassing- my mom got all into it before me.
then jacob reactivated his 3rd grade attempt at blodom.

basically i had a xanga when it was trendy. back in 2001. and i kept that thing fulla pictures and witty stories and what not.
then myspace took over my life.
and when you get to college the peer pressure starts to set in about how badly you need to get a facebook.

that is the cliff notes version of my internet networking history.

the only other things you need to know about me
a. i get nervous if sentences go too long. so i really break them up more than i should. i have lots of fragments.
b. if a sentence looks too long i add commas, in awkward places. this creates comma splices.
c. i actually do know grammar rules. i know my parts of speech. thanks mrs. frayne! you were a good 5th grade teacher after-all.
d. i constantly hit enter. i just like the way it looks. rather than having an actual paragraph.
e. i can not spell. but i have auto spell check on all the time. so hopefully i will catch a majority of my mistakes.

thats all for now.
