OK first of all, I got ringworm.
I have to take pills and use cream & it sucks. BLEH. Ringworm. I self-diagnosed before going to the Doc, just to see how good my powers of medical research are... and turns out, I was spot on. AND covered in spots to boot!!
Second of all, I was using my Setswana today at a client. And we were talking about his collegues. He always refers to his collegues by their last names (typical setswana thing to do) and so I remarked, using my new vocabulary, how I thought it was interesting that over at that office they all use each other's last names. Well "last name" is very similar to "air plane" and I F%$#ed up royally and asked him why it is that they all use each other's airplanes.
NIIIIICE. ugh. embarassment.
Embarassment AND ringworm.
I hate the early stages of new-language use.
