Hola todo el mundo!!!!

Well maybe not the whole world....but at a few of you who still read this...haha.

So a little brake down on my current class life, new family life, Almeria, etc.
...I guess its best to start with the vida de la casa....life off the house
I got off the bus at about 1030 pm (2230) in Almeria after a lovely day made up of nine hours of bus travel. Let me say that nine hours on a bus is like having your eyes ripped from your eye balls in the slowest possible way...not that I know this feeling but trust me...it sucked. That being said, I heard that Grey Hound in the good ol US is worse then that....so I guess better here then there. Ok back to getting off the bus....Encarni, my nuevo madre (mother)....more hermana (sister) late thirties, and another women/girl about late twenties where wating to take me to my nuevo casa. They had driven Encarni's new pugout hatchback car and thought that I had brought way too much shit...probally true. Onward to the apartment, located two blocks from the Rambla, the main road through Almeria. The apt is a three bed, one bath shared with the four people...counting me. I make up the only Y chromosome in the house.
.....All three of them or great people and only one speaks english. They all seem to be semi cooks with the one who speaks english being thus far the best cook. I told them I am not much of a meet eater which spaniards translate to no pork or beef only....I guess this will have to do for a couple of months. There is no dinning room and dinner is eaten is front of a tv where my ability to understand the rapid array of spanish is limiting to the least. But every once in a while I pick up a word I reconize and can share in the laughter. A funny or not so funny story: I thought that some joke had happened in football game and that fans were just over reacting but....it turns out some guy died and it was his girlfriend crying....whooops!
....Class is pretty damn hard and we started with past tense right away, skipping the present tense. I have not been in a actual spanish class in three years so my vocab ability is limited..hopefully my brain starts sparking some of the lost spanish. But maybe all the CAT scans, etc....fried the vocab right out.....doubt it but it seems like a good excuse. The class is made up of three people and two times a week I take a course by myself (spanish business). 9-1230 MTF and 9-230 WTH.
....So last night I finally put together that two of my roomates were roomates....not that I care but after hearing how I would be put in a tradional family......thus far they are far from it. But like I said they are cool, down to earth people who are very patient with my poor spanish.
....Finally I talked or tried to with my professora about politicis.....I told her of my disproval (putting in extremly lightly) with are current government...including the democrats. She said that Spain is the same and that the current socialist goverment is far from a true socilialist government and that there right/left is just like the US. So alas....all of us fall into the corporate world that is to far away to stop.....depressing yes. I really dont think I will stop to belive that we cant make a difference. I meet to many people that think the same....alas how many are just brain washed robots>...maybe to many.
Well till next time!!!!!!!!!
PAZ LOVE AND BEST TO ALL.........speek your mind and look behind the curtain that covers your eyes from the false reality we are in.....
