¡Hoy es me prima dia en la esqual Universidad Internacional! My first class was really easy so I'm switching to a harder one tomorrow. I'm nervous about that. The speaking part is my favorite.
But two much more pressing matter.
This is Oscar (en la izquierda, tienes 12 años) y Diego (en derecho, tienes 14 años). They are mi amigos nuevo en músic.
I was sitting on the porch playing my banjo (see the posting from 06/25/08), and Oscar, mi vencino (my neighbor), came by and asked me, en español, if I knew how to play guitar . Turns out he has a guitar but didn't know how to play it. So, we sat down and began learning. Let me tell you . . . he plays now!
It was Oscar's first lesson. We played small C and small G7 and sang and played "Pay Me My Money Down." Then we got down to Small G and D7 and played "La Bamba."
Now, mind you, I only speak a little Spanish and Oscar only speaks a little English, pero, we both did great!
Diego came by a little later. He has a few lessons under his belt and is ready to rock, but I think he's going to like this folk music stuff, too. When he came over we picked up the tempo a bit and played through "La Bamba" and "Pay Me My Money Down" again. Both of them learned the chorus perfecto, and we sang and played all evening.
I'm sure I'll be playing all summer.
I finally had to call it quits when my stomach started growling. Check it out! I made my first guacamole of the summer. It's really good. The avocados here are awesome, just as I was hoping. I'm really coming into things routine-wise, and today was my first trip to the grocery store where I felt like I actually accomplished getting food for a meal or two. That's good because I've been spending too much money eating out.I must admit, though, I couldn't find the corn chips. I KNOW! The chip aisle only had potato chips and Doritos. So chalked it up to I don't know what, and settled on some tostadas. They work fine.
Well, tengo tareas poder. (I have homework to do.)
Hasta luego amigos,
Jason
