When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice cream seller for an ice cream, and he said "ahorita"—which directly 16 to "right now"—I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was 17.
I sat near his shop and 18. Half an hour passed and still no ice cream arrived, so I asked again about it. "Ahorita," he told me again. His face was a mix of 19 and maybe even embarrassment.
I was 20. Waiting longer wasn't pleasant, but I felt it was 21 to walk away, especially if the ice cream was now being 22 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a 23 for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I 24 at my wrist and shrugged to the ice cream seller. 25 I couldn't wait any longer and it really wasn't my fault. His face was, once again, one of the total confusion.
This experience 26 from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I 27 that understanding "ahorita" took not a mastery of the language, but rather a 28 in the culture. When someone from Mexico says "ahorita", it should almost never be taken 29 ; its meaning changes greatly with 30. As a linguist told me, "‘Ahorita’ could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never." It is even used as a polite way of saying "no, thanks" when 31 an offer.
Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call "Ahorita Time" is a 32 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don't worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for 33, but when I'm not, I don't feel 34. Ironically, it would seem that "Ahorita Time" has actually 35 me to live far more in the "right now" than I ever did before.
