Without going into what has just happened to me, I just want to rant...
It's too hard always trying to think "Dominican", I don't think that I will make it.
I have lived all 32 of my years in the USA and trying to change my form of thinking and doing is going to take some time...
I realize now that also that way of thinking can put me in some serious trouble.
It's too hard
It's too hard to try to think of what you SHOULD say when want you WANT to say just automatically comes out of your mouth.
It's hard to do things the way they are done there and not just EXPECT them to be done like they are here
It's too hard to try to avoid simple mistakes that can very well cost you alot
I have heard alot in my other posts "That is not how it is done here" and have been reprimanded several times for my North American thinking.
But how can one change that so easily?
Can someone who is right handed learn to write with their left hand in only a day?
I am moving in 42 days, and I just hope that I can avoid some common gringo mistakes or at least not commit one that will cost me my life.
I'm not off to a very good start, apparently.
Thanks for listening
