I have to take advantage of this.
So, 2 weeks left in this country and I've had such strong internet connection in my bedroom. Stolen internet connection. I had just learned how to live without it, and it's like God is giving me a slow introduction to what it's going to be like when I go home. I've been able to read the New York Times almost everyday, and I have to say... it's scaring my quite a bit.
Anyway, this entry is just to take advantage of this strong connection I have. Since the last entry, I've been working and watching bits and pieces of the World Cup. My European roommates (German, Italian, and Spanish) all clowned me yesterday because the American team had such a sour loss. 3-0, man, and that's a soccer game. I watched a bit of the Brazil vs. Croatia game, and it was boring as all hell. I'm assuming Brazil won 1-0, but I couldn't be bothered to watch the entire game. I had some high hopes for some great goals, but nothing. Ronaldo just kept on being fat, Ronaldinho kept on having his buck teeth, Roberto Carlos kept on being short, and Cafu kept on being old. And there's a player named Kaka who scored the only goal. I kid, it's mean to say all that. But I expected more, and they didn't deliver it.
Speaking of football players, the teachers that I work with want to have a farewell dinner for my co-worker and me at the most "in" restaurant in Madrid, where the Beckhams regularly come and where the Clintons have dined before. It's apparently 50 euros a pop (I almost chocked on my coffee when they mentioned the price) but I might have to just bite the bullet and pay up and have this experience. (If we can get reservations,) This is going to be hilarious.
The good-byes are continuing. Last night, I bid farewell to my yoga teacher, who has become a pleasant friend. It's going to suck when I have to say good-bye to my students. I'm finally taking pictures of them tomorrow. I can't post them up here, but I will show them to you when I get home.
I don't have any new pictures, but I thought I'd put one up that I hadn't posted here. It's an ass shot of three girls, and your job is to guess which one is mine (without misogynistsic commenting, please) :
