Motivation

I am learning some very important phrases. The one I seem to use most is, “Nu vorbesc romaneste,” which means, “I don’t speak Romanian”. I really want to stop needing that one.

Staying in the house with no human interaction makes me more and more shy of getting out. My new rule is to get out and talk to someone every day, in Romanian. My other new rule is to use the air conditioning. It has been very hot here. Today was cooler this morning, but now it’s 32°C/ 90°F and 50% humidity.

My accomplishment for today (do not laugh) is that I was able to understand the amount the sales lady gave me when I asked about the price of a planter. So I bought it. (Ok, you can laugh)
