This post is going to be short and sweet (what?! short and sweet from Kristina?! yes, yes it happens from time to time...)
Today I had a beautiful day, a day that I truly needed after a very, very long week. I don't wish to elaborate on why this week has been terribly long, but I do long to tell you about why today was especially miraculous!
I have been struggling to see the improvement in my Spanish here, but today I got the opportunity to have an interview completely and successfully conducted in Spanish. Then at lunch today I saw a woman sitting alone and decided to sit with her. She ended up being one of the friendliest, most heart-warming women I have ever met, and we spoke in Spanish the entire time - 45 minutes straight! The Spanish seemed to flow so naturally for the first time. I knew that there was this barrier between me and the Spanish language that I needed to cross. A barrier that, once crossed, would allow me to more fully understand the language. Today I feel like I'm finally beginning to cross that barrier. Oh joy!
I am moving to Aranjuez this Sunday to live with an American lady I work with and her family for the next three weeks. I am very much looking forward to seeing the city - it has a Royal Palace and everything!
Here's to sunshine, renewed hope, and little daily miracles. <3
