Babel Babble
I was at the pool for 3 hours today. And I want to go back out. I think I might be crazy. It is just so nice out--or at least it seems like it when you're in water! I ended up being at the pool for so long because I met some of my neighbors and they were so much fun. Isn't it funny how when you see someone, you get a different impression than when you actually get to know them?
These women were blonde and pretty and I thought they would be kind of prissy or snobby to me, but we talked almost the whole day in the pool and they were so nice. This one girl was making me laugh so much. I don't think I have laughed that much in a long time! Isn't it funny how you just sometimes connect with people? I give them the credit, though, cause they were totally friendly. I think they go swimming a lot, so hopefully I'll see them again. It'll be like the old days, meeting my friends at the town pool! haha
I was thinking today about friends and how I have a lot of friends with different interests, but sometimes there are things that I like to do that I don't know anybody that would like to do those things. Well, maybe I do, but they have families and are not able to...I keep looking at the art museum's website and I see that they are going to have a France week coming up. For some reason, I really like foreign films. Especially French ones. I think it is mostly because of the language (not because of the nudity, I promise!). I like to listen to French and see if I can understand it because it is similar to Spanish. And also, I think French sounds cool.
I've been studying a little Greek on the side the past few weeks and I'm discovering how similar a lot of languages are to each other. Like there are similarities between Greek and Spanish, and even when I read The Kite Runner, there were similarities between the languages in Afghanistan and Pakistan to Spanish.
I find all this study of languages really interesting. I was thinking the other day that I wonder if there is something you can do to study the history of languages--like a degree or something. I've thought about going back to school, cause I love learning. I was thinking that I am a better student than I am a teacher and I really enjoy it, but I don't know about that...maybe I need to start my own degree or something.
Anyway, all that to say, that the art museum is having French film week and I wish I knew someone that would be able to go, but if not I'm hoping to get to go to a movie in Japan. That will be fun, right?
