Mikahla's Adventures Abroad
News flash #2 - I am getting a new teacher! I know, I just changed teachers, but now this one is moving to Switzerland to teach Spanish Literature and we are getting a new one next week. I am praying she'll be a good teacher - we'll just have to wait and see. I have found some really good websites that are helping me study. If anyone is interested in learning or improving their Spanish let me know and I will e-mail you a list of good sites(free of course) and maybe a list of some good Spanish music!
So, if anyone was surprised that I haven't found a coffee shop to study at, don't be surprised any longer! I haven't been sleeping well since last weekend - who knows why, sometimes that just happens to me - so I have been really tired and when my teacher mentioned I looked like I needed some coffee on Monday I took his advice and since Tuesday I have had coffee almost everyday! It's not that expensive here because it is never in a paper cup and it's a lot smaller, but now really less, at least not less caffeine - it is a bigger charge in a smaller cup:) I have found two really cute cafes that I like. One near my house and the other near my school. They also have really good, fairly cheap, sandwhiches. Lately I have been having cravings for salad - no one eats salad over here, just bread - lots of bread(good bread, but like a lot!) - and cheese and potatos and any other simple carb they can find. O, and anything deep fried! Artichoke, cheese and ham, fish, you name it I have eaten it deep fried! A salad over here equals a pile of ice berg lettuce and some oil and vinegar:( O, and have I mentioned that they don't eat tomatos? They spread the juice on bread for sandwhiches and as a dinner side, but they never eat the tomato! It's crazy. Anyways...I have realized that there are a lot of things that I have gotten used to before I got a chance to write to you guys about how strange they are. If you have any questions or want to know more about something just send me a note or post it on the message board and I'd be happy to tell you what I know:) Esto es todo que quiero decir ahora pero escriberé otra vez pronto. (That's all I want to say right now, but I will write again soon)
