Que' pasa? No, REALLY....Que' pasa!

Last week, the DPR and I started a new class...."Beginning Spanish". (for dummies).  I added that last part, because it is how I feel in the class.  Our teacher, told us very first thing that she would be speaking in Spanish the whole time and that we would just listen and pretty soon we would pick it up.  Somewhere along the way she dropped in a few details, like her name, but I don't know what it is because she was speaking in Spanish.  Every once in a while she would throw in words like, "Taco" or "hola"  just to make me feel better.  When she asked the DPR what his name is....he answered in a fancy voice, "Roberto"!  He rolled his" r" so it was like, "RRRRRoberto".  I turned really "rrrrrrr-red."
So last night was our second class (for dummies).   Again, more Spanish speaking...when she said "uno"...I thought maybe we would play cards....) I came home blurry eyed and confused.    I went to bed and had deep dreams.  Dreams where everyone was speaking Spanish!  All night! Spanish speaking everywhere!  I would tell you what I dreamt about, but....I don't know...I couldn't understand any of it. But this morning I woke up with a strange hankering for huevos rrrrrrancheros....with a little churrrrrro on the side.  Go figure....
