Long entry

This morning I made a long journal entry. But not on my blog. I spent almost an hour writing. That really got me ready for the day. I went and got my tuberculosis test done, but I have to go back on Friday or else they'll make me do the whole thing over again. The nurse who gave me the shot asked me if I would have a problem watching the needle go in. I said no. Then I watched the whole thing. It looked so cool, it was like watching a balloon slowly filling up with water. The bump is gone now though, but it was pretty big before. I wonder how far skin can stretch without bursting. I don't want to experiment though.

I practiced some Spanish today too. I decided to try reading aloud to not lose my skills. I can't believe it has been over a week since I have spoken Spanish to a native Spanish speaker. I have talked to several white guys in Spanish. I definitely don't want to lose practice, especially before my test for college credit. I found my big yellow Spanish book yesterday when I unpacked some things. I used to go through the assignments in there all the time, but I guess I haven't for a couple of weeks now. That is going to have to be one of my new goals, to study Spanish every day. There really aren't many Hispanic people in my part of town to talk to, so I'll have to talk to myself until I can get back to school. And then I will have a Hispanic professor, and two Spanish classes, and hopefully lots of Hispanic friends.

I got my tooth fixed today. It's another temporary composite, but it should last me until April when I will finally be insured and in a position to be able to come home during the week to have the crowns put on. But I have a full smile today for the first time since Thanksgiving. I wish it was Thanksgiving again. I think I'll take a picture of my new tooth. You can't even tell it's fake. Here's the photo. My little brother is in the background playing The Incredibles computer game. I finally saw that movie this week for the first time. I had started it about 4 other times, but now I can finally join the rest of mankind.



I hope everyone has a good day today. Talk to you later.
