In my Spanish class today, I had an interesting linguistic experience, one that didn't involve Spanish actually. Our teacher, Ambar (who I have a suspicion is younger than me) had us get into groups to review before our midterm. I ended up with three young men. Three young men who are all part of the greek system and speak in abbreviations and inside jokes and nonstandard uses of expletives. It was interesting to be a part of it. They were interesting characters. One of them, a freshman, is blonde and almost pretty. He bears a strong resemblance to Neill Patrick Harris, and has a way of looking at you just a second longer than you would expect when you say something to him. But he is not staring blankly. Just thinking.
Fraternity boy 2 has taken Spanish before, "never studied, and "can talk about anything" in Spanish as long as he is not asked to spell it. He likes to casually show off his Spanish knowledge.
Brother 3 looks like Owen Wilson and wears the biggest cubic zirconia studs that I have ever seen in both of his ears. He talks slowly.
Anyway, I sat there in between Spanish exercises and wondered what they were talking about. It was interesting.
Oh, and my ring turned my finger green today. I always thought people were exaggerating when the said that fake jewelry did that. I stand corrected.
