VEGETARIAN BY MAY

I am on the fast track plan toward become a vegetarian. I swear if I don’t see a significant increase in the amount of vegetables in my Madre’s cooking I will be a vegetarian by May. I have never seen so much meat in this old women’s freezer. It is ridiculous!! Just give me broccoli or some spinach or some leafy and green. I miss it so much. Aside from the lack of green in my life, I met some other English speaking students from Wake Forest. Wake Forest has a program here, like JMU. Only ten Wake students are on the trip this semester, but one of them was born in Salamanca and his uncle works at the shot bar, so naturally we got some free shots last night. I saw the Wake students on campus this morning walking back to the apartment from class. It is so refreshing to meet knew people and here their story. Thursday’s are a big night out in Salamanca, kind of like JMU, so our whole group decided to hit the bars last night. We danced to a very interesting mix of music last night. There was a little oldies, like I will survive, some Will Smith (Welcome to Miami), and some weird Russian music. After a fun night of dancing to random music, Sarah and I head back to our apartment. We ran into a couple drunks along the way. One was puking in an ally way, one was stumbling across the Plaza, and one was trying to talk to us but we could not tell for the life of us what language he was speaking. As we avoided all the drunken people of the street, we started discussing of favorite ice cream flavors. It turns out Sarah and I are both huge mint chip and coffee flavored ice cream lovers. As soon as we got back into the apartment, we decided to have a looksy and see if our Madre had any ice cream hidden away in the freezer. Sadly, but predictably she only had meat. As we searched the cabinet we came across on the most delicious spreads ever, Nutella!!! Que suerte!!! The cover of the nutella jar said Randi. We could not figure out what this meant because we did know anyone in the apartment named Randi. We hoped this Randi would not mind if a couple scoops of his Nutella were missing. Randi was tricky though he kept getting all over the bottle and on the counter. Que lastima. Hopefully Randi does not find out!!
