So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I burned the fuck out of my tongue while eating an empanada. I mean that literally: I burned my tongue, and the word "fuck" just fell right off of it. Apparently the entire field course that I am attending is in Spanish. I got the suspicion that it might be a month or so ago when they never made an English version of the "field camp arrival information packet", but it never really hits you all the way until you're in the middle of Argentina with a group of 30 people and all of them are from Latin America. Ay caramba. Chileños are especially impossible to understand. Chileños: Can you understand? Me: I can understand him [pointing at Spanish guy]. But the rest.... Spanish Guy: That's because I'm the only one *actually* speaking *Spanish* The Spanish Pimsleur CDs that I checked out from the library and studied intently for four or five weeks before I left helped a lot. The fact that they're all geologists also helps. We understand each other in mysterious ways, including knowing, without the aid of language, when someone wants to take a picture of some random rock and whether or not they'd like to use you as a scale. Yesterday we had an entire day of lectures about different kinds of volcanic processes, and today we went into the Andes to see them in the field. Tomorrow we take off deep into the Andes and we don't get back until next Tuesday. Yeehaw. There will be a lot of staring at my food and nodding my head blankly around the dinner table. My fellow workshop-mates have kindly adopted me as their token English-speaker, though. They look after me and ask directions for me and order food for me. They make sure I don't get lost. They turn to me after a few minutes of talking and say things like, Person 1: "What is 'culo' in English?" Person 2: "Ass?" Person 1: "We are talking about the word 'Ass'" Me: "Thank you." 2 Comments. How thoughtful, and also hilarious, of them. It's really nice that they're including you instead of excluding you because of the language barrier. » randomjunk on 2014-11-18 09:38:15 It's nice to be back! That's really nice of them to take under your wing! I got that when my friends and I vacationed in Hong Kong and I cannot read a single word of Chinese. Are there like pictures of Maradona everywhere in Argentina? » Nuttz on 2014-12-02 09:04:08
