Misión Imposible

Today was the feast of Los Reyes Magos.. You go three kings! My family gave me a pair of slippers. Ironically enough, they're black with some orange and pink, two of my favorite colors. They didn't know my favorite colors... They loved the gifts I gave them! That was a relief. I was slightly worried before. After that it was a pretty normal day. We didn't do much. I got school work done!! Minimal, but still. I did it. Tonight we went to see Misión Imposible con Tom Cruise. It kills me how they do these movies. It's the English version but with random Spanish people talking over the original actors. The mouths and the words don't match up and you also lose the actors voice with it. Kind of a bummer.. What I thought was entertaining though was the fact that Tom's impossible mission seemed to be much less impossible than my mission of translating the whole thing. I understood the general plot but let's be honest, other than a few phrases here and there, there wasn't much I understood. I'm working on it. I swear mom and dad, my Spanish will be better by the time I get home. There's a reason you sent me here!! In fact, last night I started a list of Spanish words that Aleks has taught me. When I randomly want to know a word, I ask her and then "la pongo en la lista" (I put it in the list). I really am enjoying myself here. Three cheers for the weekend, America!
