I guess it's a given that Mexican food should put anyone in a good mood-- unless they have a stomach like mine. fondly remembers a night I stayed over and then suddenly flung myself across the room in the middle of the night like I was possessed, barfing up her delicious beef stroganoff in the trash can ='(

Well, thanks to the $40 I spend a month on drugs, those days are over XDDDD I went over to my Grammy's yesterday to learn how to make empanadas and then to enjoy the ones she made for me.

Of course, it also helps that I dropped my hard Russian class and understand 70-80% of what's said in the one I'm in now, which is a comfy area for me and my flabby self-confidence to be. I'll also be meeting a new friend I made in my EFL/ESL program at a cafe. She's Russian, so she can help me with my speaking, while I help her with English She barely needs it, but I asked her anyway XDDDD

I'm also registered to substitute now.... but I already missed two calls, since I was up too late watching the second season of Burn Notice Curse you smart, sexy, sarcastic spies! Now if only the show had some time travel !!
