So my theory about the undulation of my feelings about Spanish are proven yet again. The pessimism reflected in my last post has been overwhelmed by two realizations:
1) I am fluent in Spanish.
2) I am in Spain.
The former I realized lying in my bed. And since I came here with 2 main goals (become fluent and have a good time), I am doing what I need to be doing and that is really all that matters.
The latter I realized this for the 100th time as I was talking out the trash a couple nights ago at 23:30. I responded by throwing mt head back, running down the middle of the street with a trash bag in both hands, and laughing hysterically. My neighbors must think Americans are insane.
On a totally unrelated topic I took my math test today and feel as though I did quite well. This is the first time I have actually felt like I did well on a test since I have come to Spain-wow I missed knowing what I am doing! But I I knew how to do all but one of the problems, which is a definite improvement over my last test when I was only sure how to do one thing! TAKE THAT MATH!
Anyway-on yet another totally random topic-I just tried "gulas" which are a farmed form of "angulas" which translates to "elvers" which dictionary.com defines as:
Elvers
-Noun
a young eel, esp. one that is migrating up a stream from the ocean.
Anyway, angulas apparently cost about 1000€ per kilo, thus we were eating the farmed form which, while still extremely expensive, are far more reasonably priced.
... They were not very good.
