I feel like often my blogging is just a series of really boring and usually negative ramblings, and it makes me wonder if I'm just a person with a bad attitude that is overly critical of everything. While I don't think that is the case, I can see how a third party just reading my posts would probably assume I'm ungrateful and generally just no fun. What I'm trying to get at is that I have something positive to write about..! Thanks to my friend HZ who tipped me off, I've finally figured out how to change the audio on the televisions here at the apartment I'm staying at to English (when the program is dubbed, obviously). It makes me really happy! In the past week, I've been able to watch Forrest Gump, Family Matters, and Scrubs in their original versions. With the latter show it was especially helpful, as I found that I had a really hard time understanding the dialogue otherwise. (I think it's a trend I've noticed: comedy doesn't exactly translate well.) So, rejoice! Although I'm technically supposed to be working on improving my Spanish, a girl needs a bit of the familiar every now and then :D

Cool! I rarely watch TV because there's only a couple of channels, with nothing interesting on, and definitely all in spanish. And when there's nothing to do, people just sit around and drink Terere while gossiping instead. I wanna see pictures of the cool places you see and the great food you eat!
