Es Raro que un gato… pues… tenga tres ojos

Tony called on me today in class to finish his sentence “Es raro que” (it is rare that).  Well I totally spaced and could not think of what to say next.  He said “think about the cats”, because yesterday he and I made cats the theme because I was talking about how many cats there are on campus and how I thought they were skinny and sick and said things like “gatitos bonitos, pobrecitos, enfermitos, delgaditos” which pretty much means, “pretty little kitties, poor little things, sick little things, skinny”.  Yeah, turns out there is a program at school that feeds them.  Different, right?  Vale.  Anyways, Tony was like think gatos and so I said “es raro que un gato tenga tres ojos” (it is rare that a cat has three eyes).  He loved it.  It was a beautiful moment that Tony and I shared.  Not going to lie, I am kind of sad that tomorrow is my last grammar class with Tony

 

I was a smidge homesick this morning, but it passed.  Dinner with Fina was really good.  We can actually hold a conversation.  She was impressed with how fast I was talking.  I honestly was a little peppy because I had just walked home from school and was high on life (or the exhaust from cars).

 

Other notables:

1.     I plan on walking to and from school from now on because the metro is expensive.  It is about a 40 minute walk if I power walk (which I do).

2.     Passing notes in class is not the best idea.. right?

3.     I am so happy here

4.     Fina is planning an excursion for us in two weekends I think?  I gave her money and she is pumped about it.  I have no idea where we are going but she was so excited I didn’t want to discourage her.

5.     I have serious issues paying attention during class and I’d like to get better at it.

6.     Caitlin and I have decided that people here at about ten times edgier than the average American.. so I am considering shaving a portion of my head, it seems to really work for la joventud (the young people) here.
