Well, spanish test numero dos came and went. I feel that it went a LITTLE better than last time, but not by much. I am really grateful to all of my co-workers though. They all were helping me do some last-minute studying at breakfast today. They even told me they were going to pray at 4, when I was taking my test. I love them! Funny thing is, AGAIN, they looked at what I was studying and commented on how difficult those things are. Even for them. Nothing I haven't heard before. I'm used to it. It was quite funny today at school. I literally, bumped into someone in the cafeteria on accident. I whipped around to see who it was. Turned out to be one of the Spanish professors whom I absolutely adore. We both had angry looks on our faces until we realized it was each other. We both laughed and then hugged. My friend, who is in love with this professor and claims they are going to get married, said how cute it was lol. She was also jealous. hahaha.
Tonight for dinner, I felt as if I ate Nemo and all of his friends. I said last night that I bet we were having calamari for dinner, because it had been awhile since we ate it. I was a day off. Tonight, I arrived home to a seafood dinner. I had a few pieces of calamari (I still can't believe my taste buds actually like calamari now,) a stack of small, whole fish, and a bigger piece of fish. In Spain, they cook everything as is. Remember, I have had to decapitate shrimp and dismember it, so it's nothing for me to also have to dismember a fish. It's much easier. All you have to do is chop off the tail, slit the fish open and take out the bone, and enjoy. (Personally, I always cut off a little piece from the other end, just in case there are some unknown brain ooze or something floating around.) My only complaint is, why must it be so much work to enjoy my dinner? By the time I chop and peel everything off, I don't want to eat it again. And no, I am still not a pro at dismembering shrimp. It still freaks me out everytime.
I am so looking forward in coming home tomorrow after work, eating lunch, and taking a siesta. I can't wait. I love how fast this week went by. Two weeks until Thanksgiving, three weeks until Italy, and six weeks until I will be back home for a visit. Craziness! This also means that these next six weeks will be completely hectic between school and work. Oh, finals and term papers, how I despise thee.
Going to bed. Looking forward to my half day tomorrow. Going to miss those come January when I have to work a full-day on Fridays :(
