Today has been much improved over yesterday and my frustration blog. I had my 2 fave classes today, and in between class I talked with Nikki about things happening in our lives and a little about some possible trips. And then I got home and ate lunch--and it was good. I find that if it's just Amparo, Marli, and me--we talk and it's fine. We talked a lot today--for more than 30 minutes after finishing dessert. We talked about cooking and spices and different things we'd like to make. Sometime we are going to make some Indian food and also Chinese food, since her son, Paco, gave her a wok a few years ago. We talked for probably 15 minutes about meatballs-which we had today in our rice dish. It sounds strange, but it was delicious. Then we talked about our classes, and we talked for a long time about language and how it's ever changing and the differences between Northern and Southern Spain--and North and South in the US. It was all good. Then we also talked about us talking more at dinner...which I didn't really get upset about. I explained my difficulties of talking with all the interrupting and also that I'm not really informed on the subjects that they talk about, and she understood what I meant, which was good. So I'm feeling better after talking at lunch. I know that I can interrupt--I just don't think I'm comfortable with that at the moment, but I will work on it.
It's already the weekend for me, as the new group is going to Barcelona this weekend. Since we went last semester, we (the year kids) can't go. But Marli, Nikki, and I are planning on going to Sagunto (a town near Valencia) for a day trip--as well as spending one day at the beach. It's not warm enough for bathing suits, but at least we can soak up a little sun and relax. All for now.
P.S. And now I'm planning on making orange jello tapioca salad...it's a family thing--and it sounds really yummy at the moment! Hopefully I can find whipped cream, as I have everything else!
