Miss M got word on Friday that she's on the Winter Guard team -- which is like color guard -- but different in some way she can't quite explain
doesn't matter
She found something she wanted to do
signed up for it
and did it
without any of her friends doing it with her
I am so proud of her!!!!!!
In other news -- it's clear that she is now thinking in English instead of Mongolian
She will say a sentance
and then another
and her brain will go back and correct the first sentance and she'll correct herself.
I remember this from my time studying abroad (is Mexico really abroad? -- nevermind)
There's a backslide that happens with your language when your brain shifts into thinking in the new language -- you slow down and the brain forms those new paths
but it's a brilliant moment
THINKING IN ENGLISH!!!
