As the days go on, there is becoming less and less to write about on a daily basis, as I am somewhat getting into a routine of everyday life (eat, school, eat, homework, eat, sleep) This morning Mami didn’t wake up like she usually does to pour my cereal and get my lunch ready. I didn’t think twice and did everything on my own (as I am accustomed to doing in the US) As I was walking out the door, I heard her jump out of bed and in a panic start yelling “What about your breakfast!?!? What about your lunch!?!” She was shocked to hear I had poured my own cereal (oh the power a tica mother loves to exert). She quickly packed me a lunch and made sure I made it out the door. Although at times being treated like a little kid again gets annoying, at least it provides some comic relief (as is did this morning). At school I got to move to another class, which was much more interesting and advanced than the class I had been placed in. We celebrated birthdays during our “cafecito” break. After class and lunch, a group of us walked over to LASP to start research for an upcoming paper. Although the walk takes about an hour, it’s a great way to see various parts of the city. After research and a quick stop at a fruit stand for an apple, I rode the bus home and started homework. Before dinner Pamela, Dayana (our cousin) and I worked on our trompo skills. When I get back, I’ll have to show you what an expert I’ve become with my trompo (a little toy sort of like a yo-yo). After homemade chicken pot pie (in Spanish called chicken cake), I pretty much went to straight to bed. I was exhausted and fell asleep minutes after getting in bed at 8:30 (I’m seriously turning into an old grandma but these long days and getting up at 5 or 6 take it out of me)
