Hey sinead, Oh my god, I dont visit the boards for a few hours and next minute Im on and theres so much to catch up on...I havent made it through all these posts yet but I just wanted to say that Im still in shock over what your friend did. At the same time though, I could see that happening to me with some of my friends(who I dont see much anymore) cos Ive had horrible situations like that before where you end up feeling like you're such a big hassle to accomodate cos of your ibs and everything and so they havent invited me or whatever...its such a horrible feeling. Im not surprised you were so upset, Ive have gone to my room and cried too! I think everything Brittany has said is what Id say too....dont feel too bad about it....and atleast now you can spend the day with Pawdraig instead...I think the hardest part of having ibs is dealing with the way others treat you cos of it...thats why Im so secretive over it most of the time...it is a proper curse!
Anyways... so you're thinking of learning spanish hey?? Did you know that I am fluent?? Ive been learning it for 7 years now, Im doing a higher education diploma at uni in it just to keep it up so I dont forget. I did work experience in Alicante 2 years ago as a teaching assistant! I also lived with a family there on an exchange and Im the best of friends with loads of them I met there...been back twice! I speak to them in Spanish on messenger all the time! Do you have that by the way?(MSN or AOL, I have both you see) Im off to South America this summer(If I can sort out the funding in time) to work as a volunteer in an orphanage in Peru...its something Ive always wanted to do (and thought my ibs wouldnt let me) but it was Brittany who finally made me think I could do it..and its gona count as my residential project for the final part of my duke of edinburgh Gold award...so finally Ill be able to go the palace and kick Prince Phillips a*** for makin me go through all that pain on the expedition(only kiddin ) So Im very excited about the summer....I will be teachin the kids in spanish obviously....but will be doin english and stuff too...just hope I can understand them as the south american accent is very strong...its like the difference between here and america between spain and south america!! So if you need any Spanish help...you now know someone to ask!!!
