By the way the picture is one of Chanklas puppies!
I have Spanish in the morning at 8:30, then a half an hour break, matematicas, then filosophia. On day two my last two classes are political studies (or something) and literatura. Some of the classes are in english but most are spanish. I prefer that they are in spanish because a) I have the oppurtunity to train my ear to spanish and b) Maybe there is less homework? jjjajajaj. Just kidding (kind of). Today school was better but the search for Mexican amigos wasn't accomplished. Maybe tomorrow. It's weird though because I don't know whether I am supposed to approach potential friends, or if they are supposed to approach me or what. I don't even know if anyone wants to be my friend! It kind of sucks. But the hope of tomorrow lingers in the air :D
After school Enrique picked me up and we went back to the house to have a good meal of chips with salsa, and a fish salad made with cheese, tomato and a lot of other things. It kind of looked like a bruschetta to me but it had (raw?) fish in it. Then me and my brothers played on the nintendo (something Brad and I would do in Canada!) we played Mario Cart and some other Mario battle game. Then some of Enrique and Pollo's friends came over and we went to the detached part of the house to play pool, guitar hero etc. They are really nice people. Later we migrated outside where we played Reloj, which is like Around the World (basketball game) and also futebol.
THEN we went for a walk down the street to a small vendor around 22:15 where we ate the best tacos ever. I don't even want to think about Taco Time after trying all the miracles Mexicans preform with tortillas. You can get different kinds of tacos; some have different types of meat like steak or pork, or if you would rather have fried tongue it's also an option. Of course there was a medium spicey sauce and also it is common to squeeze lime juice onto your taco before you roll it. Each taco cost six pesos which is more or less, sixty cents. They are just little guys but they are so good. I ate four. My brother Enrique's record is twenty-five.
Feliz cumpleanos Dianna!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day on your birthday!
Auntie Marie
Happy birthday, Dianna!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you and thanks for posting.
On the friends side of things, you should make the first move. We Canadians are known for being friendly. Just sit down at lunch with the other students and introduce yourself. Your brothers can help you with how to say things right.
Hey Dianna - Happy Happy Birthday to youuuuu...
ReplyDeleteYou will always remember your Mexican Birthday!!! On the school scene - I can relate to when i was on Rotary. I learned later from my Swedish friends that at the beginning they were hesistant about speaking english and a bit shy. The best effort from you is to keep smiling, get involved in those after school activities and learn that spanish. The friends will come, they are just checking you out as you may have noticed - be patient.
Hugs from Auntie B and Uncle Kiwi xoxo
