I'm the Spanish nerd.
I recently started taking Spanish 1010 and I have to admit I love it. Every Monday and Wednesday I travel back in time to old high school (which incidentally isn't the high school I attended My Alma Mater was demolished a couple of years ago in the name of progress--in it's place is a futuristic High School Musical-ish sort of place...it's huge--but that's an entirely different tanget. Let's just say its really strange to park my car under the tree where I used to eat lunch) to be schooled in the art of speaking Spanish.
I took Spanish back in Junior High and always loved the way the words rolled off my tongue. I was one of the few that could actually roll my r's in the proper Spanish fashion. Back in those days I didn't like the class very much because it was seventh period and it was always hot and our teacher had a very violent temper -- once he threw a desk across the room to get our attention.
Grown up Spanish is much calmer...the only excitement comes in the form of my cheeks turning pink (woom! woom!) when the hairly fandsome hellow next to me asks ?Que hora es? But that's another story...
Back to me, the Spanish nerd. I love reading my textbook and sit outside on the deck reciting palabras y numeros to my heart's content. Even the hairly fandsome hellow has recognized the fact I'm a nerd (he shares my textbook because he doesn't have one yet). He says to me the other night "So do you like study this all the time?" and I can't lie so I have to admit that I do.
I'm a nerd.

But a funny nerd...nonetheless. :)
Here's some friendly advice for you with this "hairly fandsome hello" - "bat your "i's" while your rolling your "r's". Get it? Man, I CRACK MYSELF UP!!!! Seriously though - it's ok to be a smart spanish "nerd"- it's almost essential these days to know the language, so you are one step ahead of ALOT of people!
That was hillarious!! still laughing!!
Well, aren’t you the up-and-comer of fancy blogging, with your well worded and properly punctuated self-cynicism. Quoting an almost-famous intellectual I know, you are a “nerd.” Luckily you are surrounded by them, so you don’t have to worry too much. Just as long as you’re not the nerdiest one of the bunch. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, because of your great nerd-shadow, I am still appear to be the most normal of the bunch.

Your favorite brown-eyed nephew also is taking Spanish. He has taught me how to sing the first 7 letters of the alphabet. Everybody now...A,B,C,Ch,D,E,F... the tune is the same one as if you were in bootcamp. Which is alot like my life... I don't know if I'll pass this class or not. :)
