January 27 again

I just had an intelligent conversation over dinner with Manuel and Rosaura about what I did today, and the metro system, and gas vs. electric cars, and the weather, and various other topics. I didn’t make a fool of myself today! I understood almost all of what he said and I could answer well. I feel like I participated in the conversation, too, instead of just listening, although I did that, too. When he said that it was going to rain Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I made a face and said ew, and he got a big kick out of that, but I’m not really sure why. I guess they probably don’t say ew here. Oh well. It’s a noise that expresses my feeling, not a word, so I’m not going to stop using it. J Rosaura told me for about the fourth time that this winter was the first time in 30 years that it snowed. I wonder if she doesn’t remember she already told me or if she assumes I didn’t understand, or if she just wanted to restate her point. Again. I really don’t mind, it just seems like she repeats herself a lot. I feel like Manuel is more willing to just talk about random stuff, whereas Rosaura mostly asks questions about what my plans are and when I’m going to leave and eat at home. And makes me feel guilty about not eating everything she makes, but that’s beside the point. Anyway, I’m feeling pretty good about myself right now! J Even if we don’t really mingle or communicate much outside of mealtimes, maybe we can still connect over supper.
I’ve got nothing more to say. I just wanted to share my happiness!
