Dia Numero 6 Jueves

Hola! ¿Que Tal?
Today is Thursday and I am pretty tired this morning after "Cafe Social". It feels totally nomal for me to be back in school again. We even have homework! Just a few exercises to do in our workbook but it is homework nonetheless. I really enjoy being in this environment again...I feel like I am back in college again where I have so much more free time and I can do many more things for myself! After class today I came home and took a nap. After that Lalo and I had decided to meet up again around 7 at "los helados" or the ice cream shops...Katie came too! Katie informed me that it is quite common in Latino culture for people to be late...I was not surprised when Lalo met Katie and I around 7:45. She decided to leave early because she was feeling a little tired. Lalo and I went to a bar for a "chela". There was a band that was playing American rock like Black Sabbath. It was quite comical to hear them try to sing the words correctly...they make the same sound but they have no idea what the real word is. Lalo´s cousin and friend met us here and we went to another bar called "Casa del Mezcal". It was really busy and I´m pretty sure I was the only American there...I felt strangely comfortable nonethelss. Unfortunately the only uncomfortable situation I have had so far occured with Lalo´s friend Hugo. "A el me molesta mucho" or he bothered me alot! He absolutely would not leave me alone! He was very drunk and altough he never touched me he made me feel very uncomfortable. He kept telling me how beautiful I was...although it´s nice to hear, after about the 105th time it is overkill. I tried to explain this to him but they just don´t understand that here. They will tell you 10 times in one sentence and don´t understand why that is weird. Lalo was a good friend and tried to explain it to him but he just didn´t quite get it. Unfortunate that my first bad experience was with a friend of a friend...at least I had someone there I felt midly comfortable with. It is strange when you cannot communicate something to someone not only verbally but via body language too. I am learning that cultural differences don´t end with not having a common language! Adios....Besos....Hasta Pronto!
