update

Hello western hemispherers...
so, i just feel like it's about time to post. Well I have switched houses. Our old senora threw out her back making our beds, so we had to move to a new place. Maybe I'll put pics up of the new place soon. Our new senora also has a son who is living with us. I'm sure many of you are thinking, oh cool a guy craig's age maybe who he can befriend and hang out with. "Erroneous, erroneous on both accounts!" 1) this guy is not my age, he's close to twice my age. He's definitely in his 30s and still living at home, which actually isn't abnormal in this culture. But it definitely seems ridiculous to me. So he is pretty weird too. He chills at home whenever he's not at work. He lives in his bathrobe and is super in to the gossip shows. When they come on the senora hollars at her son and he comes rushing in to watch the gossip shows. She then fills him in on the 42 seconds he missed. Our bathroom and shower doors are both that clear but that kind of hazy glass. So if creapy 30+ yr old still living at home in his bathrobe chooses to stand outside the bathroom door he'll have a pretty good view of whats goin on...awkward? ay!
So that's the new place. School is in full swing. For some reason, the profs here have this wonderful setup, where out of my 4 classes i have 2 tests on two back to back days. So on Monday and Tuesday I have a test in all 4 of my classes. They also decide to assign us compositions and presentations on the days right before our tests. So suddenly I feel like I'm here to learn and go to school or something. Weird.
I'm still deciding what to do with my first week long break, ya we have a week-long break at the beginning of April, then a 10 day break two weeks later. Right now Micah and I are looking at London/Dublin/St Andrews over feria. in fact we are working on buying our tickets now, and if we had enough money in our bank accounts we would buy them now.
Little bit of spanish culture 101 for ya. Meal times here are wack. Breakfast for us is at 8 before we go to classes at 9. Lunch isn't til 2:30! then you siesta, and all stores etc shut down from 3-5 ish. Then you chill til dinner....somewhere between 9 and 10:30. we eat dinner around 9:30 at my new house. So what this means is by the time lunch and dinner finally come around you are so starving you will eat whatever is set before you. Typical meals, soup or "lentajes" which is just soup which has more solid crap than liquid. then you have some sort of fish or chicken, and for desert....an orange or a banana and if you're lucky some pudding!
So if they don't finish eating til 10 or 11 that means that don't meet up to hang out til around 11:30. They then proceed to stay out til 3 or 4. naturally I love it cause I'm a night owl. This also means that everyone sleeps in. People don't like to wake up here. So i fit right in:) oh and that's also why they build a nap into their schedules. They know they're gonna be gettin some extra sleep. Well that's all for now. More to come later.
