Of Course, My Horse!!!
It was all going so well, we were eating healthy food, we went to the gym everyday, we were being studious. Then in a moment of madness we went to the internet cafe and forgot to call our Mama Tica earlier on to tell her we wouldnt need dinner. When we did call, around dinner time, all hell broke loose. Actually that is an exageration but she wasn´t pleased.
Since then me and Shelly have been living at the mall. After school we go straight to the mall, we go shopping, we eat, we study, we watch a movie, I even selflessly sacrifice my kidneys and order some beers at the bar so that we can sit there and wait til shes gone to bed before we get home.
Now Raquel is lovely, most of the time, but we are begining to suspect she is a manic depressive schizophrenic going through the menopause. She speaks hardly any English apart from her favorite phrase "Of course, my horse". She treats her poor little dogs like toys. She cleans our rooms everyday but leaves food out in the kitchen to attract bugs. If we open the door she will come along behind us and shut it complaining about letting insects in, but if she opens the door and we try to shut it to stop insects from coming in she´ll tell us there are no insects!! Shes obsessed with switching all the lights of in the house. Now this is a very worthy energy saving cause, but just not when I´m in the room studying. And worse of all, she wont give us toilet paper!!! Why??? She already buys us the cheapest sandpaper kind. But when it runs out she wont give us anymore for a couple of days. Yesterday it was raining and she was out all day, we used up all the toilet paper and then used all of the serviettes in the kitchen. We are preparing ourselves for a huge battle when we get home.......I´ll let you know how it goes.

Hiya,
This is the first time I've had chance to read your blog.
Sounds like you're having an interesting time!
Are you settled at the school you'll be teaching at yet, or are you still learning spanish?
