    Viva Mexico

    Being here for 2 months has made me miss our kind of Mexican food very very much. Tex Mex may not be the authentic version, but it sure as hell is better than Scot-Mex.

    In order to overcome this slight barrier, I made tacos last night for a few of the people on my program. I bought "Old El Paso" brand taco seasoning, but it wasn't quite the same. Luckily my roommate is Mexican and has chilis in her stash of food items. I used some of those to give it some zing!

    Only 2 of us at dinner were American and the other 4 were Canadian. The Canadians all had seconds, and some even went for more. haha. Because one of the girls is a vegetarian we also have meat substitute which a few non-vegetarians were brave enough to try. I was not one of those!

    After dinner, wine, and just having a good time we went to John's house to watch the movie "Superbad." If you were ever in high school, you will love this movie! It is slightly crude however and references sex ALOT! But still sooo soooo funny!

    Today and tomorrow will consist of me going to Starbucks and the library to read, write, read, highlight, research, etc for my paper. it is due on the 30th, but this coming weekend my program is going to The Burn. Although it is intended for studying, I'm not sure how much will actually get done!

    Well I'm off to the library!

    PS...there are a few of you who leave me comments. Where are my sisters and mother? Do you people still read this?????
    Oh and I enjoy mail and emails too...if you want to send them. :)
