Oh how these weekends fly.....

Today is Sunday already, where in the world did the weekend go??
In any case, today was actually pretty refreshing-even though my brain hurts. I visited the Venegas' house all afternoon with Kristen. So. Much. Spanish. Its making my head spin! I know more than I realize, I can understand a lot actually. Though I have to think about things before I say them, most of the time I think of the right response after the conversation, or I think of the right response and trip over my tongue. Ayyy. The thing about Spanish or learning it, youre reduced to an elementary vocabulary thus reducing theirs so that you can understand. Its a little funny to think about. They were super hospitable and I was very thankful for their kindness and delicious food!
I met this man named Graham who tutors English at a University... He was a little weird though, he kept leaning over to explain the main points of the sermon to me, which I appreciated. Then he would talk to me during prayer or in the middle of the song. To be honest it became a little annoying when he continued to do it getting 2 inches from my face, and then would keep getting closer to me even though I was as far over as the pew would allow. He seemed very interested in how much Spanish I knew and what I did and where I came from... He invited me out to lunch, which I had plans (phew), but also wanted to tutor me in Spanish-though hes going to be gone for 3 weeks starting Tuesday (double phew, I will have a different one at that point!).

On a brighter, less creepy note I picked up 2 more tutors, Ricardo and Cindy Venegas. They want more help with their conversational English (I dont think they know I am only 20 haha). Though Im pretty nervous... i'm looking up different ways of teaching it, but I havent taken ESL courses before so i'm not sure how to go about anything! I am researching ways that they would best learn, ways that I could best teach them and make the time productive. Its just different than teaching the younger crowd. But this is good for me. I think.
There is a lot on my plate thats for sure. Plus I might be the tutored one as well for once, which is exciting for me because I have been doing so much teaching lately. I cant wait to be a student again. I also hope that through all of this tutoring that I can become better at my own language. It would help to be able to write better, so that I dont read back on things I wrote and continue to be un-impressed :). You are your own worst critics and all that.
Also, I dont know how its possible to be so attached to a place with its people, yet still be kind of homesick. Maybe I just need to stop thinking, my brain hurts.
