This is my two minute speech for my oral exam today. Estoy nerviosa!
Hola! Mi nombre es Yolanda. Ahora mismo vivo en Windsor. Yo soy de Hamilton. Mi gustan los ninos. Ensene en una escuela en Zambia el ano pasado. Ensene tercer grado. Tambien trabaje con todos los grados. Durante las vacaciones los ninos nadaron en la piscina y jugaron al lado del rio. Ellos comieron fuera. La escuela tiene tres semestres. Los ninos van a casa por un mes entre los semestres. Nosotros desayunamos a las siete de la manana. Nosotros comemos bizcochos de arroz y panes tostados para desayuno todos los dias. Todos los domingos nosotros comemos los cereales tambien. Los ninos tienen que esperar hasta las siete y veinte antes de ellos se levantan de la mesa. Nosotros comemos pan de maiz y frijoles marrones todos los sabados. Mi comida favorita alla son las bananas pequenas. Yo fui alla por siete meses. No fue tiempo suficiente. Yo deseo volver a Zambia despues de terminar la universidad.
Hello my name is Yolanda. Right now I live in Windsor. I am from Hamilton. I like kids. I taught in a school in Zambia last year. I taught third grade. I also worked with all of the grades. During half term the kids swam in the pool and played beside the river. The ate outside. The school has three semesters. The kids go home for a month in between semesters. We eat breakfast at 7 in the morning. We eat rice cakes and toast for breakfast every day. Every Sunday we eat cereal also. The kids have to wait until 7:20 before they get up from the table. We eat cornbread and brown beans every Saturday. My favorite food there are the small bananas. I was there for 7 months. The time was not sufficient. I wish to return to Zambia after I finish university.

Lo que un salvador!
Hola!
Yo voy a utilizar el blog para practicar mi español. Yo aprendo español a la universidad. Yo creo deber practicar mas.
Hace frío
afuera. Octubre está muy nublado. Está lloviendo ligeramente.
Yo voy
al centro para la iglesia. Nosotros recordamos Cristo en la mañana. Gracias Dios. Tú muestras tu amor. Yo empiezo a entender por qué me quieres.
Haces me tuyo por tu sacrificio. Aleluya, lo que un salvador!

Hola mis amigos!
Hola mis amigos!!
Yes it's been awhile! Since my time in Zambia I have well adjusted back to Canadian life. It was awesome to see my family again! I spent some time in New York before heading home for Christmas...but that's all old news!
I am now I proud university student working on my general Bach. of Arts. I have started my first year with an undeclared major, so I am taking a random courses to figure out what I want to do. I know WHAT I want to do, become a school teacher, but I have to figure out HOW I'm going to get there! So, this semester I am taking the all important, Foundations of Academic Writing (FAW), Understanding the Contemporary World (so far, basically art history), and Intensive Spanish (hence the introduction /\). Being a student again is kind of like learning how to ride a bike again, you never really forget. I'm just a little rusty. :p My study habits need to be tuned and writing skills need practice.
I'm really enjoying Spanish. I can't say I'm getting the marks I wanted, but I've only had one test. Hopefully, I can learn from my mistakes!
With all the words and grammar we have learned this is the introduction I put together yesterday for class:
Me llamo Yolanda. Soy rubia, alta, y joven. Estudio en a la Universidad. Soy canadiense. Me gusta dibujar y pintar. Yo vivo en Windsor con mis abuelos, mis primos, y mi Hermana. Fui Chicago en el fin de semana. Deseo ser profesora de colegio.
I apologize if there are any grammatical errors, and please correct me if I do!
I may not me at Sakeji any more, but it's still "A Wonderful Life"! God is good! I have been enjoying this verse lately, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." Psalm 42:11
I went to highlight the good parts and realized I didn't know which parts to pick! It's all so relevant to me right now! I thank God for His constant presence and love!
