it makes me laugh...
Some random thoughts and observations again...
- The other day I was going on a run and this woman was walking her dog down the street. The street, of course, is lined with parked cars. That's normal... until the proceeded to lift its leg up and full out pee on this new-ish looking silver car. Oh... she just watched it. We're not talking just marking territory here... we're talking inundation.
- So there is drama in my "turno de coches" aka my carpool. First of all... the fact that I am part of a formal carpool makes me laugh. But I can tell you that Javier likes to listen to talk radio in the morning while María Jesús likes the M80 (pronounced em-mey ochenta) radio morning show where at 8:20 every morning they do a custom rap. Anyway... the drama is that one of the professoras that I happen to work with in the English department, Mercedes, quit the carpool. (I don't want to say too much, but apparently that was A.O.K. with everyone else.) Then, she asked me "how the carpool was going" without her behind their backs.
- I am getting very good at telling military time. (My dad will be proud.) And I'm getting super good at understanding degrees in celcius. And let me tell you... when I say it's 10 degrees leaving Sevilla in the morning... that's cold... but when I get to Almonte and it's 2 degrees that's FRIGID (keep in mind that 0 degrees is freezing)... also keep in mind that those temperatures make no sense considering that somehow it is sunny with blue skies outside... keep also in mind that these temperatures are outside AS WELL AS inside because insulation does not exist here. You know where this is most noticeable... is actually in the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet seat is like trying to pee while sitting on a block of ice... forever proving that it is tougher to be a girl than a boy. Forget that childbirth stuff... the true torement lies in being forever condemned to sitting on a bum-numbing surface while peeing.
- Well... I was gonna wait to post this until I had photos from my friend Leila's visit, but I think a post where I successfully mention peeing twice can stand on its own without photos. Those will be on later. :)
