I solemly swear

Okay, time to be honest.

I haven't been doing the best job of staying in Spanish while I've been here. Yeah, I stay in Spanish with my host family and manage to mostly speak Spanish with my friends here. But, I haven't done as great a job of staying of the internet as I intended to. I intended to basically never check Facebook, and to stop following my favorite YouTubers all together. But that hasn't happened. And I still find myself reading newspaper articles online, in English.

On bad days, I'd bet I stay in Spanish for at least 50% of the time. And on the good days I'd guess I'm in Spanish for 80% of the time.

From here on out, I'm going to skirt the temptation of English (oh, what a sweet, sweet language) and keep myself in Spanish as much as possible. I want to keep myself at 80% Spanish EVERY day. Read, and write in Spanish in my free time, and go out of my way to talk with my host family in their language.

Okay...I can do this...starting--now!
