Back to routine...

So, yeah, life has returned to the previous "normal"...which is really not normal in any way, shape, or form, but it was the routine I was used to...and it's back...

School is school...I have a test on Thursday and a presentation next Tuesday...I am supposed to be doing some research for said presentation right now, but found my blog to be ever so much more enticing than los judíos sefardíes...I know, right? How can the blog win out over that?! But yet it has...

And yet I have nothing to really say...and yet that will not stop me from saying many things...Curious, no?

Anyway, Salud made each of us girls eat a quarter of a chicken for lunch...this really stretches me out of my comfort zone--there are bones and connective tissue, and I have to eat around it anyway...If you know me, you will know that that amount of meat plus the fact that there were icky things in it are things that definitely stretch me...It's for Salud's sake that I eat it though...Then, after consuming a quarter of a chicken, she tells me that she's worried about me because I'm skinnier than when I got here...translated: V-neck shirts show my collarbone...She would NOT believe me that that's how my collar bone has always been...and then she gave us Christmas sweets...they were amazing...when I say "they," I mean the one she gave me and the other (same kind) that she gave my roommate...but they were so stinkin delicious!! I will have to try to bring a few back...

In other news, we played a game at the end of grammar class today since Carmen wants us to get more non-instruction practice into our classes. It worked like this: one student stood in the middle of the classroom and had to answer questions; if they ever had an answer containing either "sí" or "no," they were out...The rest of the class had to come up with questions and try to ask them rapid-fire style...So the first guy was up there, answering away, and doing a great job coming up with well-thought-out answers...he thought he was invincible...we wondered if he might not be as well...then another girl asked him "¿Vas a ganar este juego?" (translated: "Are you going to win this game?") and without thinking he answered "¡Sí!" which obviously meant he was out...oh the irony!

Also, I put up a bunch of pics on facebook...check it out if you can...otherwise I'll have to put up pics on picasa a different time when I have my computer and internet access...
