Hombres!

Tonight, I finally made dinner with the spanish. We made spanish omelets. Tasty. I'm so happy I can cook now! Couple weeks ago I met with Irish boys who will study at Purdue next semester and they asked if I thought they should live in an international hall or a predominate american one. I didnt know what to say, nor would I know what to say were someone to ask about living at Blackrock. The relationships you make and skills and cultures you learn...I think thats priceless and I'd say absolutely do it, so yes, live at Blackrock. Know that you are a half hour cycle away from campus, and when if rains you will be drenched and you will leave wet butt imprints on the seats in G24. AND know that anytime you want to go into the city, it will cost 1:80 one way. BUT we're by the beach and nice park and the people are second to none.

But as for telling kids who're studying at Purdue? I dont know. I've never lived in dorms at Purdue but I think I'd say do the international one, internationals are always easier to make friends with because no one has friends yet.

Tonight Beatriz and I made omelets and Stephano was supposed to be helping and wasnt, (Beatriz would say "Hombres! Men, you know men!") and the two bickered like my grandparents, made for great craic. Throw in the spaniards that came in late and it was one big, loud party. I only catch words here and there but its still entertaining, body language, and tone of voice go a long way.
