I'm not feeling well today. Maybe a little feverish.
Slept enough last night, I guess. Don't remember when I last slept adequately. Had a tough night, but a fruitful one. Slept when I felt beyond exhaustion.
Was blinded this morning when I got out of the house - the sun and the snow are not a good combination.
Gave my Spanish final exam with a numb mind. The last part was a letter to a Spanish family - I told them about my family and home, my school, my life. While writing I stopped for a second. I couldn't believe I was communicating in a different language. It was quite strange. For me, communicating is equivalent to breathing (a Gemini characteristic). To have another way of communication feels empowering. I'm at a very nascent stage right now, but I know I will get there one day.
I heard someone say that they find it easier to communicate their deepest fears and emotions in a foreign language. I thought that was an interesting idea. When I had thought of giving it a shot, I realized my bilingual skills don't include a foreign language per say. Both Hindi and English are like my primary languages. So Spanish it will be, some day soon.
Have to rush..bus is about to arrive. Have a fun evening planned with RH, Adam, and maybe Aki. I hope I feel better by then.
Edited to add: Missed my bus by 5 seconds. Had to pay and get on to a longer bus ride. Murphy's law! Scribbled on my tiny fat notebook listening to songs that flooded my mind with memories.
