My Bloggy thingy

Whenever I get a new electronic that involves some form of assembly or installation, I refer to the manual. Before this year I would see the Spanish and say, "EWWWW. . . Gag me with a rusty spoon!" Then proceed to look for the English directions. However, when I opened my new HD PVR (high-def personal video recorder) I saw the Spanish side and thought Come at me bro!

I dove into the instructions, but I avoided using the pictures because that makes it too easy. I knew there would be things I wouldn't understand since it would have names of different components and cords so I had to cheat a little bit. After about five minutes of reading the Spanish and tinkering with setting I actually get it to work!

THis situation made me think one thing, Wow! I have come a long ways. Way back in the day I struggled to get a B in Spanish, but that isn't how it is now! It may take me time to comprehend, but I can read AND understand what is being said. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside knowing how awesome things have gone! :)
