Guts. Toads. Ploppy milk.

Just some random momentos de este semana. (AKA random moments this weekend)                1. I learned that I should always listen to my gut feeling... And when it tells me to keep walking.. I shouldn't just walk away. Run.           2.The Americans in the bilingual program that just arrived in September, decided to enjoy the warmer night out on the lawn drinking mate, I joined them and soon began to realize how long it's been since I've been around Americans. Everything about the way Americans converse is so different, strange and funny after not being around it so long. Anyways, that's beside the point. What I wanted to tell you is that at some point one if the girls pointed out and shouted "TOAD!!" And yes this place is loaded with frogs everywhere... But it was so funny for me because I completely forgot about the word ---toad in English. I haven't heard it all year, and for some reason it just made me laugh and be like "huhuuu, Toad?! That's a word we use?!!"   Anyway... I realize that's not really funny if you've never experienced being surrounded by another language all year and then all of the sudden people show up around you, using all these old phrases and words you forgot all about. But I decided just to tell you anyway.     3. Today I drank a full glass of milk for the first time all year. When the school only serves powdered milk that always has floating plops of powder in your cup of coffee... You lose the desire to drink plain milk. But recently, the school apparently had mercy on milk lovers and changed the brand of milk they serve. It's not good-ole red whole D milk from home. But it's at least liquid now instead of powdered. And this morning I couldn't take going without a cold cup of milk any longer. So I had my first cup today. Guys. I may be counting down the days to drink a beautiful cup of whole milk.
