So Long and Thanks for all the Pescado..

The time has come to admit it, I am rubbish at Spanish. In my second year of learning the language I spend much of the time in class with an utterly blank look on my face. When asked by the teacher I am forced to admit (in english), that I have no idea what she is talking about. I feel frustrated, embarassed and irritated but it all.

The upshot is; I’m wasting money continuing to attend. I don’t like the idea of quitting something, but by the same token I don’t like the idea of becoming completely crap at something either. I need to swallow my foolish pride and quit.

Alternatively, a colleague suggested that instead of quitting I should try to get myself expelled. Possible scenario:

Teacher: Krises, donde estan los platanos?

Me: Am I bothered?

Teacher: Perdone?

Me: Am…I….bothered??!!??

Teacher: Salga perra

It’s a plan then… or maybe I’ll just discuss with my Administrator…
