Today in my Spanish conversation lab we were talking about our weekend plans.
This is what I thought I said to the T.A:
"This weekend I'm going to see the play BYU is putting on called "The Merchant of Venice."
But, this is what she thought I said:
"This weekend I'm performing in the BYU play "The Merchant of Venice."
Clearly, my Spanish could use some work.
She smiled really big, looked really impressed and wished me good luck with my show.
Even though I realized that there was clearly some type of miscommunication going on, I just let it happen. I didn't have the brain power to think up the Spanish words to try and correct the misunderstanding and honestly, I really didn't care that much.
So, I made like a Beatle and let it be.
But now my entire conversation lab class thinks I'm an actress. Great.
Well, maybe someday I'll tell them the truth.
