Yeah I'm here.
Miss me? It's been pretty busy with all the aforementioned stuff going on. Some updates...
1) My Spanish classes are going to be all right. We have a small class of 4 people (One 40-something guy, one early twenties guy, one late 20s lady, and me) and I can feel my poor monolingual brain strain and the challenges a language class is doing. Even more so, it is a very engaging activity when you both have to translate and understand something as your communicating. No mind-wandering or overanalyzing social crises in the two hours of class for sure.
2) Intonation Music Fest is coming up! Oh boy!!!! And it's all free since I'm nice enough to volunteer for a few hours. 3 stages, record vendors, multiple bands that I've heard of!! And I really hope my volunteer activity involves interacting with other volunteers because that could get a guaranteed crowd to hang out with during my off hours. I can bring in a digital camera, nothing illegal there, so I can get pictures of your favorite bands if you let me know what you like.
3) Nothing much on the Jewish socializing opportunity I hinted at before. I kept it personally vague so I wouldn't get caught up in things, but I basically did everything I think I'm supposed to given the established and appropriate communication chanells. Ideally, I was hoping that this girl would be interested enough to contact me soon and attend the music festival but maybe that's asking too much. I will only share with you positive developments on that front.
