My first call as a periodista

This drawing illustrates my first attempt at making a call in Spanish to interview someone for an article. I can’t remember who I was trying to call now, but I do remember feeling disheartened.

Calling up strangers to probe them for information wasn’t something that felt natural, even in English, but by the time I managed to get through the adrenaline had set in and I was totally ready for it.

I introduced myself to the woman on the end of the phone, who said, “Hello? Hello?” and promptly hung up.

“Boo hoo,” I said.

Luckily I got over it fairly quickly and I realise now it was probably the shitty connection that failed, not my ability to communicate. Yes?
