Ahh! I hate the eating schedule here! I can’t seem to adjust to it. Breakfast is good because it’s pretty light. But that’s at like 8am and then you don’t eat lunch until 2 and by that time I’m dyinggg. It’s alright, I think I can manage to deal with that via coffee & rice cake around 12. However, then they don’t eat dinner until 9 and that’s when I die. How can you just eat nothing for 7 hours and not be shaking from hunger?? (I like to eat.. can you tell?? lol) Oy, I’ve gotta figure this thing out and find healthy snacks because if not, I’m going to end up stuffing my face with Spanish Teddy Grahams, which translates to “Chiquilin Ositos” This is very much not good. --
Most of you have already heard about this, but I did something quite lovely the other day – I fell. Oh yes. I am that graceful. I got lost on my way to my internship and so I was looking at a map while walking. Obviously not a good plan. I didn’t see a little pole right in front of me, walked right into it and went *THWACK* That is the precise sound I made as I fell ever-so-gracefully in the middle of the street in Madrid. Now I have a gigantic blue bump on my left thigh that hurts. ::sniff::
In recent news: My host father spoke to me! We’re making progress! Mom talks to me, now father talks to me. We’ve only got one more to go (host bro), although he’s going to be a little bit more difficult. I’m thinking of inviting him out for a celebratory coffee/caña after his finals are over although I’m guessing he’s already going to be doing that with his friends. Oh well, my job is to offer.
Also, I’m very close to finding my intercambio partner! The Instituto recommended this website to sign up on to find a person to intercambio with (speak English/Spanish) and I only signed up 2 days ago but already 3 people want to talk to me! =D Yay for me. I want to get to know more Spaniards as opposed to hanging out with American students all the time. (Not that they’re not wonderful.. you are!)
The night before last I went out to dinner and we got Indian food in Lavapies and it was soooo yummy. Then we went to a restaurant to watch a flamenco show which was really cool but the guy was yelling into the microphone and I'm almost positive that I went a little bit deaf.
All in all, things are okay for now. I'm going to Toledo on Friday so there will be much a picture-postin'! Keep a look out on facebook. (:
Hasta luegoooo.
