un cambio?

spain may or may not be changing my opinion about 2 things:

almonds & coffee.

you wouldn't really catch me consuming either at home.

alright that's a lie. 

twice i had coffee during my tour time in admissions.

i had to be there at 9:30 on thursday mornings...

and we all know the later in the week, the more exhausted we are. 

so i filled up half a cup, the rest with creamer and sugar.

and i drank it for energy. 

i gotta be peppy with perspective students & families! haha

but almonds? nuts in general i'm not really a fan. 

(especially in chocolate or ice cream)

now i'm not changing my mind about that. 

i'm not going to be drinking loads of coffee and buying hershey's with almonds...

but almonds make for a nice little snack!

let me tell you, lecki was impressed!

i had been holding out on telling my best friend, the nutritionist, that my señora was frying hot dogs and feeding me 3 of them at a time. i finally broke the news to her, which upon hearing this, she started using all sorts of combinations of exclamation points and question marks. 

"you gotta get out of there!!?!"

so i had to console her with some sort of good news.

"well, i like to snack on almonds. they're pretty cheap here in andalucia."

well... that just made her day. 

she was very impressed that i was getting my share of healthy, essential fatty acids.

jackpot.

so i'll continue to pop almonds every now and then.

and drink "un cortado"(half coffee, half milk) less often than almonds, but still sometimes.

since i don't ever really have anything caffeinated,

a little bit of spanish coffee goes a long way.

days, maybe!
