struggles

I am starting to actually believe that I can do this job. A week ago I wasn´t so sure. I have decided to focus my energy on learning español. As I reflected on the job portion I realized that I can do it. I have done this before, mas o menos. Pero my biggest struggle is communicating. I am not always a perfectist, but I have my moments. I don´t want to mess up. But messing up is the fun part. Like today when I was trying to say "Poron" and said "porno". O saying "I have a man" instead of "I am hungry".

I put my watch on upside down. Awesome.

*for those who want to know, I still have not been "sick"*
