Day off today. Yay!!!
Of course, I'm going to do something most exciting later - laundry [/rant]
Today's expenses: $20.
That's too much actually! I'm cheap lol

Too Much Work

Ok, so last week we had a sale at work. I thought we took more than we can take. So many people I didn't recognize before showed up and the line went waaay over the entrance and people willing to wait even if it was raining outside! O_o

On the other hand, I had a conversation with a Spanish customer that went really well. (^-^)
Random pick:

1) cheap - barato (!) (Same as native language's)
2) expensive - caro, costoso (Costoso)
3) frugal - frugal (!) (cognate)
4) add - agregar (makes sense)
5) take away - llevar (!) (I've been using this all along as a translation for "to go"
6) replace - sustituir, reemplazar

(!) - means I'm surprised
Random pick:

1) exciting - emotionante
2) excite (to arouse) - exitar
3) coin - moneda
4) dirty - sucio
5) messy - desordinado

These words I've kept from yesterday.

Random Dictionary Words

Whenever I have a chance to speak with a Spanish speaker, I try my best to express what I mean. Somehow, I'm able to communicate, whether with difficulty or resorting to making body signals. But when I am completely stumped with certain words, what comes to mind is a dictionary, so I bought one. I keep records of the words I wished I have known and look it up later in the day. Of course, whether I am using it in correct grammar, I'm still not sure.

I must have to start a new journal on sleeping.
I sleep like a cat. If only there is enough time.
I brought a new notebook dedicated only to learning Castellano.
Yes, I enjoy escribiendo lo.
Ah, today is supposed to be my day off but I have to work. grrr

I hate it when others change their schedule for something that is not even necessary enough so that it warrants affecting some others persons schedules. I never do something like that.
So now I currently have these magazine subscriptions.
