I meant to make them all into one continuos video...but I guess I ended up uploading a bunch of video shots. Same difference I suppose :), now you can click on which parts you find the most interesting. Here is one I really wants to show you all of my school
I just love the view from the windows in class, from some of the rooms you can even see the ocean :). If you go to my youtube account you can view all my other videos. If you want to see my surroundings I suggest Fountian, Driving, Greenery, Pretty Park, Cars, Flowers, Kiosko and The View (yes some of the names I wrote here are improvised, but you´ll be able to tell which videos I mean :) ).
I also suggest everyone check out my new hair cut (actually its sort of old now...I got it like a month ago, It´s about time for a trim! ). Oh and that was my outfit for one of the times we went out :).
¨Dinner¨is good if you want to see a bunch of Juan´s friends who we went to dinner with for Paula´s birthday party (there were over 20 of us!).
Feel free to click around. Any of you who have camcorders in Oly should make me some videos of what you´ve been up to! If your in the market for a little cam corder, I highly recomend the Flip Video Ultra, I got mine for about $70 on e-bay, and it´s small enough to fit in my pocket and records 30minutes of video.
Also, Nate thanks for your message! I want to write back to you, but I don´t have a current e-mail for you or Addie, give me one please!
Take care at home everyone,
Molly

Just a Quicky
Rosemary´s comment reminded me of something EXTREMELY suprising that I forgot to post :). Not only is the presidential election in the US not causing a buzz here, many kids have asked me who WON, and are shocked when they find out that it isn´t for another month! Also, everyone here is obsessed with talking about the ´Crisis´is that the same at home?
Thats all for now (I told you it´d be quick :) )

The white girl with the pretty eyes
Yes thats me lol. The two things people say here about me, ´¡Necesitas ir a la playa, estas MUY blanca!´ (you need to go to the beach, your VERY white) to which I reply ´pero esta es morena a mí jaja´(but this is tan for me :) ). The other thing I hear a lot ´Me encanta tus ojos´, o ´tus ojos son muy bonitos´(I love your eyes, or, your eyes are very beautiful). The eyes thing is because here nearly everyone has brown eyes, so my green eyes are quite the sceptical :). Rather than having people stare at me in whole like they did in Myanmar, people just stare at my eyes here (my white skin is strange, but not THAT strange).
It´s funny, I know there are a zillion things that are extremely different here, and that there have been a number of funny things that happened with the culture/language switch, but I can´t for the life of me pull up a few examples to tell a classmate who asked for some for the school newspaper!
Oh, here is one sort of funny story (that I may have already said...but I think I have a better example now). A few weeks ago I was sitting in class, intently listening, and I understood what they were saying (now a regular occurance, if I´m fully paying attention....a very difficult task for 6 hours straight, plus at home!), and my reaction was to assume ·OOOooh, I understand everything because EVERYONE who speaks english understands Spanish, DUH, because nearly every word is a cognate· (why of course, dont´you all understand spanish? :) ). Interesting logic eh? After thinking about it I figured out why though, for most words, the word is spanish is ·Near· to a word that you wouldn´t use in everyday speech, but has the same meaning. For example, the verb to breathe is Respirar, which is close to respirate in english. But you would never she she was repirating...But it made sense at the time :).
Bof, I had more ideas of what to write here but they have all left me. Time to go back to all the rediculous amounts of homework I have to do...

A day in the Life...
of ME :)!
Durring the school week my day begins at 7am, when my alarm goes off and I can´t beleive that its already time to get up again (being an exchange student is tiring, plus I´ve been actually dreaming here (I don´t usually!) and waking up not as rested, I think I´ve read that its also from processing the langauge while you sleep? I don´t know).
Then I get ready for school (just like at home :) ). But I don´t use a backpack, instead I have a big purse that I put my books in, just like all the other girls here. Also, I actually have to carry textbooks, which isn´t as tragic as it would be in the US because they are all paperback and not THAT thick (except for physics and chemistry...uuugh lol) but the weight still does add up. Then its down the stairs for breakfast (oh, another random note, I have PE two days each week and on those days I wear my nikes to school, again just like all the other kids, all the other days its flip flops, there is no dress code here so you can wear whatever you want :). Also, no PE lockers, in fact the locker room is just like a bathroom with a little empty thing attached for changing, and four showers, which we only use after the pacer (for the adults, pacer= evil thing where you run A LOT) )
Ok back to what I was saying, breakfast. Thats probably the most ´normal´ (meaning US like) meal of my day, I usually eat oatmeal, and my host mom eats cereal. After that, at about 7:35 I walk to school (22minutes, usually) then look in my planner and figure out which classroom I´m going to (different everyday). The beginning of school consists of a lot of kisssing cheeks while we´re saying hello and waiting for the teacher (who sometimes shows up like 10minutes after the period started! lol). My class schedule changes everyday, but school begins at 8am, break is from 10:45-11:15 (I always go to the same caféteria, alone, because my brain needs a break! Plus I like the consistency of having one thing the same in my constantly different days) Then three more classes from 11:15 to 2pm, when I walk home.
My subjects in school are Industrial Technology, Math, Spanish Literature, General Science, Physics and Chemistry, Philosophy, PE, Study Activities (dont´ask me what the class is for..I have no idea :) ), Tutoria (like advisory, except for better, the person is actually supposed to help you, and its good because your with the same kids all day, so if a problem between kids were to occur its good to have an adult to help sort it out), and Apollo Idiomatica (Langauge Help, like ESL, but for learning Spanish, just me and one other girl though :) ). I have some of the classes above 4times for week, others twice per week, and tutoria once per week.
When I get home at about 2:30 its time for lunch, the biggest meal of the day. Depending on when my host parents get home (and how hungry I am, meaning how long I can wait to eat) I eat with them. Usually there is some sort of a soup, either potaje (i dk how you spell it) (it´s a creamy soup that I think is cream of potatoe, with other veggies and some sort of meat, i´m not really sure :) It´s very tasty though!) or chicken noodle (with really small noodels, mostly broth, again I like it :) ). For the main dish there is usually some sort of meat, and some sort of starch. Also, they LOVE fried food here, I know, go figure :). Like probably a third of the time we have french fries with our meal. I really like the paella they make with rabbit here. Paella is flavored rice, with some veggies and rabbit (it takes like chicken, cliché i know, but true!), very spanish. Also we eat a lot of fish here. Deep fried fish, fried fish, etc :), my favorite is breaded bacalow (again I have no idea what it is in english, but some sort of light white fish). Basically everday there is also salad and desert. Oh another food that we eat here a lot of cuban rice (i don´t know what its like, rice with garlic and other things, its really good!), barley fried eggs (not high on my list...), and fried bannanas (YUM! TRY THIS RIGHT NOW :) Seriously, go grab a bannana (preferably from here because its amazing, but I guess yours will do lol) and toss it in the fry pan with a bit of olive oil. Yum Yum Yum :).
After lunch its over to the TV room to watch ´Amar en tiempos revueltos´ Love in times of revolution. It´s a spanish soap opera set durring the era when Franco was in power. My host mom loves it, and watches any eposode she misses on the internet later. About half the time I take a nap after that until about 4:15, then its studying, shopping, walking, violin, etc, general free time activities. Dinner is eat what you want, when you want, and then I usually go to bed around 10, or 10:30 (early for the Spanish, but as I mentioned being an exchange student = a lot of energy!)
One other food that I REALLY like here is Bocadillo de Tortilla Española. I usually get it when we are eating out (which is fun because it really doesn´t cost that much here, for example a hamburger at a café, or a Bocadillo, or a Sanwhich, etc costs about 2euro (3 dollars) ).
Whoops! Internet here is quite unpredecitable! I started this post on Monday ( I think...:) ) and it then the interent died part way through, I think there was more (I know, even LONGER :) ) but here´s what there is. I don´t really feel like reading through the whole thing, if there is some essential element missing let me know!
Thank you so much for your comment Rosemary! The rest of you should try it too now! Down below this there should be something that says ´Comment´ Click it, type what you want, and hit send! Hope all is well is Oly,

Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
Yes you read that right, I just ate PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY :D. Nummy lol.
Also, I made bagels today which is suprisingly easy! It only takes about an hour and a half total (including baking and clean up ;) ) and they are AMAZING. Especially when you can´t buy a decent bagel! (Or any at all as the case is here, the decent bagel commet is reffering to the closure of ottos in Oly :( ). Here´s the recipe I used, you really should try it! I topped some with dried garlic, basil, and oregano, others with seasame seeds, and some others with cinnamon sugar (which is turning into a love affair here with Tita, a grandma like figure, :) ). Just add the toppings after you boil and before you bake.
INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the butter, sugar, salt and egg yolk; mix well. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into 12 balls. Push thumb through centers to form a 1-in. hole. Place on a floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes; flatten. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Drop bagels, one at a time, into boiling water. When bagels float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Life is very good here, I´m enjoying all the special Spanish things like cheap gummies in a zillion flavors from ´Kiosocs´(little stores with magazines, newspapers, candy, drinks and chips), Amazing CHEAP treats from bakery´s (€0.70 for a fabulous croissant, or a chocolate filled croissant like thing) which are also all over the place, probably one every two to three blocks!
The other thing I REALLY like here is the simple pleasure of goin up on the roof and looking out at all the palm trees and gorgeous water and sky and the buildings, and people, and mountains, and houses, and...the list goes on :). In one word, Gorgeous!

Things are different here...
Here is a list of things which totally tripped me up at first (but now I´ve gotten used to...mostly :) ) :
The light switches are more like buttons wGTch two directions (i´m not sure how to describe them...) In addition, they are about 6inches lower than the one in the states (i´m guessing becasue they build their houses with metric measurements). Those six inches don´t seem like they would be an issue, but when your gropping for the light switch in the dark it can be quite confusing!
The front doors here don´t have knobs like the ones on the states. Some have a huge knob in the center (that doesn´t turn) or just one of those fancy knocker things. The doors are always locked and to get in you either use a key, or press the buzzer and wait to be buzzed in or for someone to come to the door.
Lots of the streets here are TINSY, if the cars were the size of the ones in the US they would run into all the cars parked in every single spot possible besides (barely) enough room for a euro sized car to get through. Also, basically all the not main streets are one way, which is nice for walking, but must be sort of confusing for driving!
On the subject of streets, the do NOT for squares here! Streets take off from other streets at all sorts of random angles, which made me extremely confused as to where I was for the first few weeks. What an amazing feeling now though to have mastered the strange streets and be able to get wherever I want to go in this fabulous european city :).
About half the time when a TV show or movie is originally in English and dubbed in to Spanish they leave the english playing in the background, which I´m sure is fine for native Spanish speakers but it makes it so I can´t understand anything happening in either language! Actually right now, I hardly understand anything in either langauge, my mind jumps sporadically back in forth, accidently inserting words from one langauge into thoughts in the other language! It´s quite the odd sensation :). Hopefully soon (they tell me after 3 months here...) I will be able to think (and speak and understand) everything only in Spainsh.
I´m sure there are lots of other strange things that I´m forgetting, I´ll add them later. I have to go finish getting ready to go out with Carmen (host sister) and her friends tonight!

I hate Liscensing Laws!! GAH
Wow, I never realized how much I take for granted that the online services I use are just for Americans! I can´t use Pandora.com (which is a freaking sweet site for listening to music, if you havne´t tried it you really should, then you can sympathize more with me not having it for a year lol), OR netflix on demand! AAAaaaaAaaaaAaah! Sad time, I´m really glad Youtube in universal though, otherwise I don´t know what I would do!
Wow a lot of exclamation points, but you get the idea. Also, more things I realized I take for granted, it is quite difficult to get ahold of coconut milk here, and the people in the regular grocery stores just look at you like your nuts when you ask for it, the same thing with ginger and limes. Go figure, I really don´t understand the lime thing since they have lemons out the ying yang...:). Luckily there is a fruit store where I was able to get some limes and ginger root, but I didn´t feel like walking all the way over to the chinese grocery store (on the other side of town, near my high school, so perhaps i´ll pick so up tomorrow) and paying like €1.50 for a can (like 2.25$). I also can´t find curry paste! And I have yet to see any sort of asian restaurant.
I had quite the interesting adventure making a version of Grandma´s thai coconut soup thing. I ended up using one can of coconut drink, and then taking a whole coconut and grinding it with some water and squeezing it to make more coconut milk. I like how the soup turned out, but its VERY different tasting from home. All the food here is quite mild and my host mom commented that it was very strong (only about as strong as tom gah kai..wait till she tries my curry :)...if I can ever get ahold of curry paste that is! :( ).
Yes there are many food things that I love here (read MANGOES, and MANGO JUICE for really cheap, and Spanish Tortilla, and cafe con leche condensada and....the list goes on :) ) but I also am starting to miss some things from home.
Ok, thats my update for now, and the moral of this story? Don´t take your thai food for granted!
BTW Loving Parents, I would be estatic if you want to the dollar store and bought me a set of plastic measuring cups and plastic measuring spoons and sent them to me :). I think there are a couple other light things that could make it like christmas in October, but I forget them right now, I´ll let you know when I remember :) (wait to send things until I remember at least one other please :) ).
