Things to come

So, this past week has been pretty hectic and a rollercoaster of ups and downs.
I just cleaned my harry-potter's-hole-in-the-closet sized room, and have gotten as my school papers organized, so I feel like maybe I'll be able to get some things done. Not now though.

For now, I have just a few thoughts on my mind.

My host mom's been lecturing me on how I have to get on a normal sleep schedule, and that it's for my own good and health. It's getting a little frustrating, especially as I'm pretty independent, and even at home, I don't really talk to my family about my life. I know you all know me as the outgoing, crazy girl, but to be honest, at home, I enjoy my privacy and quiet.
However, I had a good talk with my host ma & pa today over dinner. We talked about when to tutear and when to use the Ud. form of speech (honorific or not), which led to conversation on the presence of cursing and foul-mouthed people in Spain. Which led to a rant from my host father about how in all his time at Morroco/Spain, he met many Jews and Muslims, but never ever heard people of either of those religions speak so badly of their own religion or god as he did with Christians. He obviously held those of other religions in very high respect, and was pretty disgusted with the Spanish Christians. This led to my host mom getting slightly upset that dinner talk had turned to religion and she started talking of how Muslims were fanatics. At this point my host father also got upset and berated her for thinking that way.

...Awkward...

That's when the conversation ended and I returned to my cave to recuperate after the day. But note to self, obviously my host parents are very conservative, but the señor is much more realistic and interesting to talk to. Corner him alone one day and pick his brain!
It's currently 2,30 AM, so I should probably go to sleep.

I know I haven't been very good about updating my blog... This blog is as much for me as it is for others, so even if belated, I'd like to write about a couple things I'd love to remember.

Things to come:
Toledo
Awkward in Spain
The fine art of Botellón
