Day three and my head's going to explode. They are stomping Spanish into our heads around the clock. At breakfast...STOMP, through the morning....STOMP, at lunch, in the afternoon, at dinner....STOMP STOMP STOMP. My head is actually pulsating and I keep thinking blood is running out my nose but when I check there is nothing. Right now Jorge our teacher is stomping a particularly large word into our collective craniums: 'Otorrinolariugologo'
For those of the medical persuasion, this is how you say 'ENT Specialist' in Spanish.
"Jorge" I say, "The cup is full, I cant take any more"
"Ah, learning language is about patience and discipline, don't give up!"
"Maybe, maybe we wait for the cup to break eh?"
I look up at the wall, to the painting I quite like but don't quite understand, and now it makes perfect sense - its called Pienture by Joan Miro, and I am guessing 'peinture' translates to 'Lobotomy' and mine is almost complete.
