I want to be a polyglot. To be able to watch any movie without subtitles. To travel the world easily and have a desired skill for the CIA if I wished to join.

I've been "learning" Spanish since 8th grade and didn't feel like I progressed much until this year. It's not that I find it hard to understand the grammar and pronunciation, it's the process of continuing to practice adequately and retain the vocabulary that kills me. I wish I could have been raised speaking two languages so I could have hope that it was possible. Right now I feel stuck at the intermediate level while my mind gets distracted by the prospect of learning even more languages. I'd pause time and spend a year in Costa Rica if I could. Maybe I could study abroad to further my learning.
But I want to learn so many different languages too. I just need to stop and focus until I'm nearly fluent before I move onto anything new.
Again with the starting things but never following through.
I just want to concentrate.


Pretend I made a smooth transition.

I filled out an application today at a place I'd love to work for. Afterwards, I went into Home Depot and Lowes still wearing business casual attire which meant a skirt. In both stores I was immediately approached in exactly the same way by two male employees asking if I needed help. I didn't know whether to be flattered, creeped out, or frustrated by female stereotypes.

21 Jump Street was fun.
