Tash the Translator?

So I contacted my future fellow interns and they are so nice and welcoming!Dema is Girl 1 and Guy 1 is Jim, they have both responded to my email and seem excited to have me join them. I'm so glad they are friendly, not that I assumed they wouldn't be, but I didn't know what to think. If you are interested in learning more about them please see my facebook wall for Jim's post or Dema's comment to the post below.

In my message to them that I told them that I had spent two months in Mexico and have now been appointed the group translator since I, apparently, speak more Spanish then either of them. Dema did not tell me what other languages she speaks, but Jim speaks French. That will be interesting seeing as how I have not had to converse with anyone in Spanish since August 2009. I hope my broken Spanish is good enough to stay out of trouble. And for all of you reading who know me, please refrain from the jokes about my Spanish. I feel I can get by if need be...and by "if need be" I mean if there is no other option and my life more-or-less depends on it, juts kidding I'll be fine. Luckily, I have two hour and a half Spanish classes, so I can only hope that over the next 5 months I will become fluent.

In other news, my name is apparently Tash. Jim informed me that they, he and Dema, named me (the unknown roommate) Tash earlier this week. They have discussed what I will look like and my personality. I don't know if I look like a Tash, but I hope I live up to any expectations they have of her.

I can't wait to meet my new roomies! Not that they will replace the lovely Lauren Nicole Lightfoot or incredible Erica Mae Beal, but I am looking forward to it.
