So today has been an interesting day, despite being what would seem a regular Tuesday. It started out with grammar class. I was a few minutes early, or so I thought--turns out our regular professor is going to be gone for the next few days, if not the rest of the week, and the other professor starts the class 15 minutes early because she leaves 15 minutes early. Honestly, class today pretty well sucked. I miss our regular professor, she's awesome! There's a pretty big gap between the levels of the two grammar classes, and conducting them together (the current solution) is not all that helpful. But, meh.
UE class dumped two projects in our laps, one for next week and one for the week after. Is nothing too major, we just were all a little blind-sided, given the absolute lack of work this class has required up to now. Oh well. We talked a bunch about money, which was kinda fun cuz Euros are so interesting.
Then at lunch, I totally dumped water all over the table. They have a pitcher with a water filter, and as I was pouring my glass the top popped off and water went everywhere. We had damp bread for lunch today! I had such silly timing too, cuz Miguel had been crying for a good half hour and Diego was insisting on watching the TV, and then I dumped water everywhere. Sigh. I'm much more careful about pouring water now!
About halfway through lunch, the most amazing thing happened: it finally stormed!! Okay, by Indiana's standards was a weak storm. But rained!! In fact, it was raining when I went to take my siesta, and still raining 3 hours later (oops) when I walked to class! I can't guarantee it rained the whole time, but was a bunch of rain! I was glad I brought my umbrella, cuz a bunch of people forgot and either had to borrow from their host family or get pretty wet. Was pretty awesome :D
Art class was pretty standard, and then dinner was interesting. Any time the boys eat with us (they sometimes go to bed first) is interesting, because there's lots of yelling and deal-brokering, and Jorge really only has one volume: very loud. It's totally adorable and hilarious. Today, though, they bought this special dessert that's typically eaten on the Feast of the Three Kings (because that's when they do the majority of their Christmas celebratin), but you can get it year-round. It's basically a giant bagel (though fluffier, more pastry like) with cream where you'd put the cream cheese and eaten like a sandwhich. Additionally, there are surprises in the cream! One is a toy, the other a bean. Whoever gets the bean has to buy the next (whatever this dessert is called, everyone said it too fast and excitedly). Guess who got the bean? They joked I should come back with JP in the RV (cuz I told them about my plans after I get back). Also, there's a cardboard crown a la Burger King in the middle under the dessert, that of course the boys fought over. It was pretty cute though.
