Lost a few months... Once school started up, everything got a little crazy. First off, poor Spirata III was never quite the same after laying those eggs (which dried up and never hatched). She never was able to get back what she put into those eggs and seemed to develop some sort of mite problem. We gave her baths every day--which she liked, but she lost interest in eating and she finally died this week. This time we gave her a proper send-off. Her shell has been retired to our flowerbox on our balcony. She was always my favorite...
But Happiness lives on... long live Happiness.
Otherwise, we are all busy. Christian playing lots of gigs in clubs, me studying and reading and working, Oscar going to school. He's doing really well this year. He seems to have gotten over his social quirks from last year and been 'assimilated'. You just can't fight Spanish culture, either you adapt to it, or it rolls right over you. He has an extra music class now that he loves. He's listening to lots of music at home. His favorites right now are Doctor Octagon, Funkadelic, a mix that my friend Gabriela did called 'Disco Fever', Manu Chao and Jose Luis Orozco.
I'm having a harder time adapting to school. Some of my classes are impossibly hard and I'm not sure I have the will to work hard enough to pass them. Heavy duty boring Spanish linguistics and the dreaded Latin translation. Time will tell. I should find out in a month or two if they accepted any of my transfer credits. If they don't then I'm dropping Latin for sure!
More later... we're off to have lunch with a friend--Jeremy--who lives in Plaza Mayor.
