You know you're spanish if..
Current mood:  content
You put your clean pots in the oven for storage
Your mother keeps a can full of recycled cooking oil on or near the stove
Your relatives take photos and videos at a wake.
You have to say "bendicion" to your grandmother / mother / aunts when you come in and before you leave
Your grandma's couch is covered in plastic even though it's older than you
You call all cereal "con flay"
You call any sneaker "tenis"
You can't leave a party without taking home a plate of food
Your grandma makes you put on slippers because walking around barefooted will make you get sick
You need that piece of cake before you leave the party
You found out about a Saturday party on Wednesday
"La Correa" or "La Chancla" were used to discipline you
You have those huge wooden spoons on the wall
The biggest pot in the house is burned from all the rice cooked in it
You blast the music at 8am to clean the house on a Saturday
The
whole family gathers around and stands still in front of the video
camera at a wedding, baptism, or birthday party and just smiles like
its a regular camera.
You set up a "hamaca" whenever your family goes to the park
You are older than one of your uncles or aunts
Your Mom has two sets of dishes and bed sheets: One for everyday use and the other for "cuando llege visita
Your mother keeps the rice in a big green soda-cracker can and instead of a scoop inside , it`s a tea cup with a broken handle
You go to a birthday party and your friends that couldn't go are asking you to bring them back some food
Your mom / tia / abuelita has a ceramic elephant on the living room table
Your favorite dish is pegao
You have an aunt who sells pasteles on the side
It could be 100 degrees outside and your mom is cooking pernil inside in the oven.
You're proud to be Spanish - and you pass these jokes on to all your Spanish friends!

and a very cool
person) who shared a room with Dave (thought he was a smidge off his
rocker when Joe and I first met him but he's not so bad, very silly w/
Evan) who's drum major partner is Evan who was in my group. As I
said, Evan and David were very goofy together, and oddly enough they're
kinda like Joe and I. Didn't really talk before the camp but it
seemed like they'd been friends for a while. Well, being around
them all the time made me feel very short lol The ppl at the
camps took pictures throughout the time we were there and times we were
conducting...well...the times I stood on a chair to see the board and
such I looked fine..about their height lol Buuuuuuut when I was off the
chair...there was a large dip 
Oh
well, they were all really nice. 'Course I'll be seeing Joe in 4
days lol. The main thing I liked was everyone was so respectful
to everyone else..it's like it was another world where ppl actually had
manners 98% of the time. Our group was decent; there was 11 ppl
(Chris, Evan, Julia, Jamie, Amber, Daniel, Jacob, Catie, Beth, Me and
Maggie) Catie was...well I just don't seem to have a thing w/
Caties but I always get away from them 
Jacob was very smart, he was the reason we almost won our egg drop thing...stupid little crack 
Maggie was the leader who knows fred so that made her cool 
She wasn't quite as...I dunno how to put it.."active" with the group as
the other leaders were. There were a lot of interesting ppl there
lol. Well groups I may say Girl Scouts gone wild (very cute
considering there were a few guys there that enjoyed the name the most)
The Quack pack (quacked at random times and duck marched counts and all
lol) Those were the main ones I remembered cuz they were the ones that
seemed to have the most fun together. It rained soooooo much
while we were there. Poor Joe and David got caught in a huge down
pour...they looked a bit cold lol. David let Evan feel how cold
it was when he rang his shirt out over him while he was laying
down. We learned a few new things with conducting and improved
what we already knew a lot. I'm a lot more confident now as drum
major and I know that Joe and I will improve with our "skills" as the
band improves with theirs. I can ALMOST allllllllllllllllllmost
get conducting 4 vs 3. It just looks so weird I get thrown
off. Annnnnnd I can conduct one had 4/4 then the other 4/4 but
starts a beat later. Sadly I can say the alphabet
backwards...even while conduction lol (zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba)
Something he taught us to throw us off..did a very good job lol.
Hmm..the Harold dorms...dear God...they suck 
Joe and Daves room was so hot for them they started to sweat the minute
they walked through the door, mine wasn't so bad..not sure if it's cuz
I didn't have another person in there or just cuz it wasn't so bad lol.
I think that's pretty much all of it....oooh ooooh!!! I got 2 new
shirts 
one for the camp..a tournament of champions one cuz I got
rainned on and I was cold so it was something dry to have..and a
western hoodie..just cuz lol so now I can show off fred and kim's
school lol. The campus was really beautiful, I loved the
mountains especially when the sun started setting and fog started
rolling over the hills *sigh* so pretty. Hopefully the other
dorms aren't so bad 
Alex doesn't work there anymore 
So hopefully either Julio's working night for the next few days or Mrs.
D's back. annnnnnd got senior pictures back some turned out pretty
good, others I looked very high lol bad timing with blinking 
fun fun.
Uhmm...yea...there's really not much to my life :-\ I've worked every
day this week annnnnnnd...yep...k I'm done
