tidbits

me: "i like studying. a lot." missionary: "let me guess. you don't have a boyfriend."

and that is what it is like to work with senior missionaries.

listen. i just might be falling in love with my job (even if they all try to set me up with their sons/nephews/strangers they met once on the street/etc. not that getting set up is bad. just. you know). perhaps i love it because i talk to hilarious/smart/deep/fascinating people all day (in spanish). and i say things like "muy bien" and "perfecto" so much that i can't actually remember how to give affirmations in english anymore. and i learn about grit while watching someone struggle to learn 5 basic words and not complain about it one single time. and then i watch that same person come back after 2 days and carry on an entire conversation with me in a language they just started learning a month prior. and maybe it's also because i talk about missionary work all day, which happens to be in my top 10 fave conversation topics. and all the other things. 

am i allowed to say i sort of like working 11 hour days?
