So, Gabby made Dutchican (Netherlandsian style Mexican) food tonight. Delicious.
We used Goudse, (strangely pronounced Gouda, its like they refuse to believe in the existence of the "s") some taco sauce from the store, chopped up tomatoes, and lettuce from a prepackaged salad. It's pretty awesome. You should try it.
Recently, I've been pretty bogged down with school stuff (read: procrastination). Yesterday was a breakthrough in the homework department. I just started writing the international sales agreement and didn't stop until I couldn't think of anything else to add or stipulate.
So, there's six weeks homework done in a day.
Don't ever listen to the teachers who tell you not to cram. Just because they have to overachieve to function doesn't mean you have to, but no. Seriously, kids, stay off drugs and do your homework and obey (even the arbitrary) authority.
/irrelevant thinly veiled criticism of high school
In order to do my other homework (again: procrastination) I've been researching conlangs (constructed languages) to help me make my own constructed language. It's mostly for fun. I'm not going to go all out and say it's going to change the world like an Esperanto fanboy.
Yesterday, Gabby and I tried to find somewhere to eat, but it was difficult to gauge whether or not a restaurant sold real food or just tapas. Serving tapas is a Spanish custom- they give you laughably small amounts of food to go with your alcohol. So, we went to like five restaurants. At one point we decided to try a little bar that had a 6-item food menu. We went in, sat down, talked about how no one had food. During that, a waiter came and asked what we would like to drink without a menu, so we said water- assuming that we were going to get food also. Then he brought out bottled water (you have to say tap water if you want normal water. I keep forgetting) which was 2 Euros per.
Finally, we went to McDonald's and Gabby wussed out of the no sugar pact. So, because she can't eat normal amounts of sugar and I don't waste food, I'm off the no sugar until I arrive back in the States, apparently.
To her credit, she made a good argument. She said that there's a lot of stuff we haven't tried but would like to try.
Weak! Less that 2 weeks and already giving up on giving up sugar. Ask the locals about being able to get a full meal at reasonable prices. Maybe they will invite you to dinner at home.
