my bad spanish grammar

Just a little name change from estoy to soy temporal. It just so happens that there is two "to be" verbs in Spanish: Estar and Ser... and I of course used the wrong one. I think I understand why too: I am permanently in a state of impermanence... entonces hago un poco cambio. I think my spanish teacher thinks I am weird (or a wanker) too. "Can you give me a context for that?" she asks, her head to the side. Um. Por ejemplo: el hombre es mortal. The man is mortal. "Like to to be or not to be, you mean? Ser o no ser?" Sí. "That's very existential Glen. In that case you would have to say 'soy temporal'."
