today was definitely a productive day. i managed to write two full lists in about 45 minutes time. that made me happy. granted, the first one isnt as good as the second, but you'll see all the fruits of my three-quarter-hour labor soon enough.

but anyway, both lists were written during spanish class, the obvious inspiration for the first list. i figure that if you travel to another country, you should learn the language. and if nothing else, you should know these phrases.
