I realized last night while I was thinking to myself in the shower that I can explain a LOT of things in Spanish that I couldn't explain just two months ago. I now have a pretty decent command of the three past tenses as well as progressive tenses, and a very simple future tense. I'm still not good at the subjunctive, conditional, or real future tenses, but I can talk about way more things than I ever could before. Vocabulary is still my major struggle, but I'm learning more and more every day. I feel like 90% of what I say is "Como se dice ..." (how do you say ...) and then pointing at things I don't know the names of. Not very elegant, but it works.
I got a couple of packages in the mail yesterday, including what were supposed to be pyrex mixing bowls (since I have no mixing bowls here) ... they were shattered thanks to really poor packaging on Amazon's part. Now I have to figure out how to return them, which is no easy task from here. I also REALLY need some sort of casserole dish or something that can go in the oven, since I'm getting tried of stovetop cooking all the time ... and speaking of cooking, I have to go to the grocery store after work today, which is unfortunate, since it is super rainy today.
