some more random findings

i keep making this list in my head of random things i come across and it really might not be that exciting but i want to put it down because i want to remember everything, not just what i did and who i saw, but the little things that you don't think about in your normal life, ya know? plus, if when i come back to visit, i want to compare and see how things have changed, or not. so i'll just keep adding as i come across more...

>i think the theme song here is "i gotta feeling" by black eyed peas. i hear it in every store, every bar, every car driving by, it's insane.

>people eat more yogurt here than anything, and i don't understand it. i haven't had any since i've been here, but there is an entire aisle in the stores packed with tons of different types of yogurt. but the weirdest thing? most people just get "plain" yogurt. no flavor, no color. my roommates pack the fridge with it....... maybe i need to jump on the bandwagon

>the cars don't stop for anything. i get so scared crossing the street. i feel like it's gotten worse! i'll end up racing across if i'm the only one because i'm afraid they won't see me :(

>the apples here suck. i am a huge fan of apples, i know that's weird. but i could eat like 5 a day, and in florida they're so good, but here? not so good...

do you notice i talk more about food than anything on here?? hmm

>"okay" is universal. people here speaking spanish say it. if i say it anyone will understand. i heard german people talking and they slipped in a few okay's and it was weird!

i'm out. i had so many and now i can't think!

anyways.. i talked to marta and she is leaving on friday :( she was supposed to leave in like 3 weeks but joana, the lady we lived with, pissed her off and she changed her flight. she said it's been hell since i left! joana complains and pesters her all day. marta even said the other two guys think she's weird too. but she talks to them like she loves them and then she tells them they aren't doing anything right around the flat. i think she is bi-polar. seriously. she will rant and rave and try and make you insecure and the next minute try and make you feel loved and like she just adores you. senora loca!!!!!!!

i am soooo lucky to live where i do now. school starts tomorrow!!!! i'm actually excited. it's different this time because i actually have a feeling of what to expect. the classes sound really cool too, all marketing classes. so i'll be back to let you know how it goes!
