scatterbrained thoughts

things i am used to/ slowly getting used to...
-eating eggs for at least one meal of a day. and rice.
-my daily cafe con leche and pan con tomate y queso (toasted bread with a tomato spread and manchego cheese). my friend at my school introduced the toast to me, and it's pretty incredible! everyday at "recreo" (recess) we go out and grab a coffee and toast!
-the teachers yelling at the students in a kind of scary way that would completely unacceptable in the US but doesn't bother the kids at all
-my long walk to and from school... i actually love it! i'm usually running a little late so i have to walk pretty fast... good work out!
-not having an oven... the dinner i made tonight made me realize i don't need an oven to make a good meal (and that i'm not actually that bad at cooking!)!

still adjusting to...
-the way people walk here! they take up the whole sidewalk; will not move if you are walking towards them and so you have to walk in the street; mostly everyone walks like they've never had anywhere to be in their lives; and they cut you off any chance they get.
-the orange juice here... it's no tropicana!
-i haven't tried the milk yet... it's not refrigerated at the store (neither are the eggs) so i'm a little ehhh about it
-no hockey! i caught some football games last week, and the mlb playoffs have been on, but no hockey!
-my phone... as american and spoiled as i sound, i miss my smart phone!
-speaking british english at school... "Have you got a maths book?" "Yes, I've got a maths book." it's weird
-still can't stand the dog poop!
- not having a lot of clothes. i'm getting extremely bored with my wardrobe
