¿So, are you Catholic or Jewish?

My last few days have been really busy! They have been really good though. Thursday and Friday were our first day of classes and they went very well. I like most of my professors, I don't really care for one that much, though. I don't know if its because it is a two hour grammar class, or because my teacher is painfully annoying, I think that it is definately a combo of severe boredom, with a side of overly dramitic, haughty and loud teacher, with a Spanish diva complex. I'm not mentioning a name, because I'm really scared that for some reason she will come across this and release her diva fury in full force...unlikely, I know but I'm not taking chances. I've met some really cool people in my classes and we have started to make some pretty good friends with the people that live in our residence hall. One thing that I was really worried about, was if we were going to be able to find a church here that wasn't catholic. Almost every student that I have talked to, has said that they either don't believe in God, are agnostic or just attend mass because their parents are Catholic. I met a kid a few nights ago, and he asked me if I were Christian. I said yes, but I'm not Catholic. He for some reason thought that if weren't Catholic I must be Jewish, so he replied by saying, "I'm not an ant-semite. I think Jews are cool." I didn't really see that answer coming, so I just tried to stifle my laughter and shook my head.
Last night though, we were eating with a girl that we met from Oaxaca, Mexico. We were talking about movies and I asked her if she liked Nacho Libre, because its one of my favorite movies. She said that the movie was filmed in her hometown and that she was a receptionist at the hotel that Jack Black and all the actors stayed at! She said that they never really talked to anybody though, so she didn't meet him. Even though she is awesome because she is from the land of Nacho, she is even more awesome because she invited us to church. We went this morning, and it was really amazing. I was really excited because I could understand a lot of the message and we knew some of their songs. The pastor and the college minister are both from England and the pastor invited us and some other new people to his house for lunch. His wife is from Spain and they were both so nice. I'm not sure what exactly she cooked for us, but it was amazing. It definately beat having lunch in the cafeteria. For dessert, we had a cake called the Rascon de los Reyes, which in English means the ring of the kings. Its a cake that they eat for the Christmas holidays, which are kind of different than ours. The day that they actually exchange gifts with their families is called El dia de los Reyes Magos (the day of the kings/magi) and that's on January 6th. Anyways, the cake that we ate had two figures baked into it and I was really pumped because I got a little owl. Sorry, I don't know how to rotate this picture, so that's just gonna have to do. Some other fun facts, The U.S. is not the only country that has crazy cat ladies. Last night I was walking home and their was this old Spanish lady that was feeding like ten stray cats right by our dorm. She had individual bowls of meat and cat food for almost all of them. Also, nobody in Spain can pronounce my name, I didn't think it would be that difficult for them but they tend to say it like T-r-a with flem on the end. So it sounds like they're coughing something up when they say my name. Also, the Koreans can't pronounce it either, one of them sounds like they are saying Crack when they say it.

In other news, the new season of the Real World is sick! But it's going to be a good season. I just can't handle Katelynn, she looks like a six foot three Shreck. Also, while watching the first episode, I predicted that the military guy was going to be the first person to break something and I was right. Maybe I'll do a Real World Spain...
