Chapter Fifteen, Granada 2023

Sit back and relax!


She asked me the question again in Spanish, I desperately repeated the words in my head, trying to see if I recognised any words, that could hint at what she was asking me, maybe it was really simple, like what was your name moment? I hoped not, or I would be getting doubly embarrassed today. 

Sadly, I had to shake my head, giving a nervous chuckle as I said “I don’t understand, sorry”

She then explained to me in English, she’d had asked what everyone’s plans were today. 

Honestly I had no plans, all I knew was that I wanted to walk around Granada and explore a little as well as study some of my Spanish. 

While I knew how to say I’m studying Spanish, I had no clue how to say anything else, thankfully she seemed to accept this answer, and she handed out more Spanish papers, I glanced through the papers, noticing most of the words on there, I had not studied. 

Once again my monster chuckled in my bum bag and I could practically hear it laughing at how doomed I was in this lesson. 

No, this will be okay, I told myself, I’m here to learn, right? 

Then I felt any hope I had at grasping on to this lesson die as the tutor proceeded to explain to us how to do the activities on the paper…in Spanish. 

Everyone else nodded in understanding, while I sat there, wishing the ground would swallow me up… 

Find out what happens next chapter!Β 

(I should have published this a couple of days ago but I got distracted, so sorry for the late chapter)

  1. I’m a bit of a late comer on this one. I should probably go digging for past chapters and see what I missed but I may just be a little on the lazy side.

    1. Aw thank you! And no worries! In short summary I went to a Spanish school in Granada, Spain for two weeks and this is me retelling of my experience in a fictional story writing format so for example my anxiety is in the form of a small and not that scary monster and is pestering me throughout my journey πŸ˜… And some of my real life experiences may be changed to suit the story but it mostly follows my real life experience 😊 In this chapter I am in my third Spanish lesson on my first day and have been put in a class that’s too hard for me πŸ˜…

      1. Thanks for catching me up. I was definately so curious about the monster thing. About anxiety. I don’t seem to be affected by it the same way as others. It places no restrictions on me but without anxiety medication I am an out of control alcoholic. With anxiety meds I can easily just drink socially on occasion.
