Tomorrow

Hi

Good night

Tomorrow I have an important meeting. I will have to wake up very very early. The traffic in Bogotá is terrible in the morning. I can´t come late at to my meeting. [This works, but it would sound better to say "I can't be late to my meeting"]

I not can't forget my (carpeta de documents). Right now, I am keeping all the documents in my handbag.

See you.

My potato life

I always thought that I wasn't gonna going to improve any of my english, I'm I've been studying it as a second language since I was in elementary school, but it just seems impossible, I gotta said have to say that my school had a lot of united states emigrants's sons  immigrants from the US so they speak it very fluently and I was just ashamed that I wasn't able to memorize how to say cat, dog or "Teacher, may I go to the bathroom, please?" I was so overwhelmed that I have had to speak loud in front of everyone and I was just gonna going to embarras myself... that's why I sat thight there in my desk and tried to be invisible. If no one can see me, then no one can ask me anything.

The time goes went by and I went to junior high school, I managed to pass my english classes and to avoid speaking in front of the class. I actually felt like I wasn't able to understand anything but one day I did a quiz and I don't know how I get got an A-. I was so happy. I didn't think I could do it. I noticed that the answers were right because they sounded right to me... that's when I realized that I understand understood more than I could imagine.

Then, in between junior high school and high school, I started to listen, like really listen hard rock, almost all in english. Then movies without subtitles in spanish but english.

At college almost all my researches is in english but now I realize I'm not really good at writing and speaking it, just understanding (listen and reading), and that's because I never let go of my elementary school shame and I always felt judged when I had to say or write something. I'd really hate to be judged about my english (or anything, actually) even if that happened just one or two times in my entire life.

When I signed up in this website I was thinking only on learning german, but I've been thinking that here is the perfect way to start everything fresh and improve my writing and speaking skills in this language, too. I'd love if you could correct this entry and make me some comments, I know I repeat a lot certain words, but it's important for me if you could point them out and gave me some synonymous to use instead.

Thank you for reading <3

PS. Here is a cute/creepy potato for you. Yeah, the title is the first thing I thought when I see saw the picture.

Letter to my Friend...

Dear Nicola

It was nice to meet you. We've been friends for God knows how long and I may not be the best 'best friend', but you will always be the best personal body guard for me(hehe). If ever you feel sad, remember that I am here.

You know that you are the one of my best friends and I can truly open up to you. But, I often feel that I don’t tell you how much I love you. You really are, a great person; not just in words but in reality.

Today I am really missing you a lot and I decided to write you a letter.

Last night I was having dinner with some friends, and I missed you a lot. I still miss the moments that We spent together in our lives during our English Inmersión days.

Today We live in different cities and We both have new friends now. But you know that I never feel the same just  as I used to feel it with you.

You have been a good friend and you will always be in my life. You understood me clearly, the compassion I felt in your friendship was not found with any other person.

I can’t forget you and I know it well that You will also never forget me.

Love,
Carolina
