Got to my first day of class about an hour late and totally flustered. Basically never got the confirmation email from the school to show up at 8, so I was there at 9:05. I was thinking, “Latin time”, but it didn’t work….also forgot money to pay the remainder of the fee as well as my passport for their records. Then when I stepped into class, after my oral evaluation, the class of two German students were in the midst of a history lesson, which completely threw me off. Fortunately got better quickly. Spent a few hours in the language lab after class, which was helpful. The IMAC truly is great school. My teacher is wonderful. Going to be a better day today I’m sure.
My room.
Had a sinus cold, which thankfully is gone, thanks to some tequila (a.k.a. Mexican sinus medication) and a good night of sleep. Tried to repay my debts to Danielle for hosting me for so long and made a Tortilla Espanola for dinner with a big salad, and learned the time-consuming process for washing and sterilizing vegetables (10 drops of iodine per liter). No wonder why Mexicans don’t eat many veggies…it’s a pain in the ass to prepare them. But I was craving green food, and the salad, and steamed green beans really hit the spot.
