Empanadas = Good Mood?

Sat Sep 19, 2009, 1:19 PM
  • Mood: Stumped
  • Listening to: Kill 'Em All
  • Reading: How to Teach a Foreign Language
  • Watching: Burn Notice
  • Playing: Mafia Wars
  • Eating: Empanadas and eggs
  • Drinking: Kool-Aid
I guess it's a given that Mexican food should put anyone in a good mood-- unless they have a stomach like mine. :iconnauticalnymph: 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 :icongwahplz: Curse you smart, sexy, sarcastic spies! Now if only the show had some time travel :O!!

I am a total dweeb XD

I'm studying at UT Austin to teach English as a foreign language. Languages are my favorite things-- right up there with spies, time travel, yaoi, and any music that wails.

"Wow, you really wail ;D" - "Oh, Wayne, you make me laugh!"
