Finding my way around

Over the past few weeks I (Elizabeth) have been figuring out the pilot format. Reading the text is a bit difficult for me, as I can not sit in front of the computer to read a lot of text without my eyes feeling dried out. The content was very familiar so I also found myself skimming rather than absorbing, and that lead to difficulties in the workbook assignment.

I got very frustrated while doing the workbook because I got almost every question that I was doing (My sister and I are splitting the questions) wrong, either because of mis-spelling, or accents. Once it was because I used the names of the people in the question instead of "ellos" or "ellas." I will be paying more attention next time, but still. I hate being wrong and when I got nearly everything wrong for mistakes I didn't know would be counted, I was angry. I am definitely hoping to do better next time!

The lab is very easy. Sometimes the native speakers speak really fast, but other than that it was fun (and it's the one time I can talk to myself and not look crazy! haha. just kidding)! I am looking forward to continuing this study and meeting with the webcam tutor on Monday.

Ciao!
