Apparently, I'm not used to eating Mexican food

So, the other night I was sitting down for dinner, and it's already super awkward because all of my host my host mom's family has already eaten and she places soup and tortillas in front of me. So, I wait a while and then just dig in with the tortillas because I'm not sure what else to do and I'm already freaking out since it's the first time I'm meeting all of her family, well there were seven people there and that wasn't even all of them, so I just start eating my soup with tortillas. Then, with the entire family in the kitchen, my host mom looks at me and says "what are you doing!?! You don't eat soup with tortillas!" And then she sticks two huge chicken breasts onto my plate and says, "It's ok, you're not used to eating tortillas, you're new, you will learn." And all this time the man who's the father of all of her children and who hangs out at the house most days but doesn't live with her, is cracking up next to me. I was so embarrased, I couldn't even say anything, but I could feel my eyes buldging out of my face!

Oh my gosh, and today, just as I was about to leave for school with just enough time to walk there, my host mom was like "where are you going?! you need to eat breakfast!" So, she sat me down gave me coffee and toast with delicious beans and cheese. So, it was awesome, but then I only had 10 minutes to make the 30 minute walk to school. Oh yeah, and when I tried to practice my Spanish on her little granddaughter, she started crying. The thing is, I had this banana and she was looking at it, just staring. So, in order to break the awkward silence between me and this 1 and a half year old, I just said, "es mio o tuyo." So, one that wasn{t even correct spanish, and two she burst into tears. Anyway - I'm booking it to the university and I just barely make the bus, like it was already going when I jumped on, and then I couldn't find any change so I had to pay with a big bill, but not before falling onto the stickshift. Oh my gosh, it was so embarassing that I didn't even wait for the bus to stop when it got to the university, I jumped and ran.

And that's Mexico so far - I love it!
