the future, the irrelevant, and the unhealthy

--I've pretty much officially decided I'm not staying here in C.R. It's a great place, but I just don't see myself living here. I'm currently looking at jobs in Europe (U.K., Switzerland, Russia, Italy, Spain), mainly summer camps as a way to get my foot in the door. It's been interesting to see what my classmates' plans are so far, some people want to stay here, some want to head to Asia where all the good money is, some have no idea (and I don't honestly see them ever doing this after the course). If people keep their eyes and ears peeled for jobs around them and let me know, I would seriously appreciate it. There's currently one ESL teacher need in the PCSSD but it requires about a billion certifications I don't have. Still looking and we'll start working resumes tomorrow.

--I am coming to a clearer (visual) conclusion of my dream guy, thanks to the following celebrities: Andrew Lee Potts--my new major actor crush, Alejandro Sanzo--my little bit of Latin, and Brandon Flowers--lead singer of The Killers. These three guys actually look similar, which means I'm making headway, right?

--Finally, I am turning into my former roommate: I put mayonnaise on my french fries. I used to think it was so gross, but I've got my favorite fry spot here (Jardin Marino), and ketchup here tastes SUPER different, it's sweeter and I can't stand it. They have more mayo than ketchup, and they've got mayo with lime! Mayo with lime is my new favorite!

My roommates and I have been hanging out our landlady's son's house (he lives next door) because he can really cook. They grow practically everything and anything they eat, so a couple nights ago we had fresh squeezed orange/some fruit I can't spell juice, and last night he had made us a crema (soup) of ayote, cheese, chile powder, corn, mushrooms, and sweet cream. It was soooo good. And we had cookies! Totally spoiled. I taught last night and I'm done for the week, so I've been getting to town early and laying on the beach. One week until my mom gets here for her vacation!
