Today I had classes like normal. So many students left last week, and I guess there's not more students at the same level as us, so right now it's just Katy, Marie-Luise, and Karo Lina. Marie and Karo are from Germany. They are super nice and a lot of fun. Small classes are more difficult because we have to talk a lot more and work a lot harder, but I like it because I can tell I'm learning more than when we have a fuller class. Also the teachers are able to tailor their lessons to our needs a little easier.

delicious pastry

After class (6 pm), I rode the metro home and made friends with a two year old. She was so stinking adorable. I started making faces at her and mimicking all of her arm motions, which she thought was absolutely hysterical. Her giggles had the entire metro tram smiling! :) I seriously considered skipping my stop so that I could keep playing with her. She literally reached for me and started crying when I got off the metro. Make me look forward to having my own kids/my own classroom! :)

When I got home my abuela and I got in another little tiff. Once again she thinks I'm going to starve to death! I just flat out don't understand how people eat so much here!! I'm eating like 3 times the amount I eat in the United States! It's nuts!! She made me come into the kitchen with her and she showed me a mountain of pastries and lots of fruit and told me I had to eat something! Even though I wasn't hungry, I ate this really yummy chocolate filled pastry! I'm pretty sure that she went out and bought more pastries special to try to make me eat them! She literally asked me if I was afraid of getting fat and told me to tell my parents that if I starve to death it's my own fault because there is plenty of food in their house! hahaha!!

For dinner we had the BEST rice dish! It had all these vegetables and different meats like shrimp and bacon and calamari. Delicious! :) I can't even remember what else we had for dinner because the rice was SO good! :) Yum Yum YUM!

After dinner I found last weeks Glee episode! Finally I'll be able to watch it!!! I was so excited because most of the websites I usually use only work in the United States! The only problem is that the darn thing didn't load  FOREVER so I'm going to try to watch it tomorrow! :)
