Today I had a bunch of classes again; I turned in my first homework of the semester (for Linear Algebra).  I talked to Celia (well, mostly her daughter) and am meeting her on campus after class on Thursday so I can head to their house and eat and meet them all.  Today I had quesadillas instead of tacos, but they were pretty much the same exact thing plus cheese.  They did fill me up more, as 3 pretty much topped me off.

I have been enjoying afternoon naps lately, and sleeping an unbelievable amount.  I think I'm averaging 10 hours per day.  I have a sore throat right now, so I'll probably continue that to try and avoid having a cold.

Tomorrow for Importing and Exporting Operations in Mexico I get to give a presentation about Japan with a girl from Tennessee about their business styles, along with traditional customs and economic information.  The rest of our group is doing reports on Italy, UK, India, Mexico, and Cameroon.

I just ate at Taco Felix's, and had 6 tacos.  I'm pretty full now.  Eliot challenged me to see how many I could eat, and I think I can do more, but for now, 6 is the current record.  When I ordered them, the waiter did a double take, and had to confirm that I actually wanted six!

I should be off to play soccer pretty soon.  Hopefully I don't populate the field with ground up tacos.

After soccer we went to the cafeteria on campus to have snack.  What I got was a gigantic 8" diameter chip.  And it had guacamole spread on it, which had ground chicken I think on top of that (very finely ground), and then some lettuce and some kind of white sauce (probably sour cream).  It was pretty good (not cooked by the way).  Now I'm going to eat some Trix (with yogurt).

Soccer turned out to be interesting, and pretty fun.  It was actually pretty much like a hockey rink, and the ground was concrete covered with very thin turf.  The game is called rapid football, and you can play the ball off of the walls.  I think the game lasted about 1 hour, but it seemed to go pretty fast.  Probably because we were losing so much...9 to 2.  Anyways, there was a goalie and 5 others on the field at a time.  I think we had 10 or 11 people, so I didn't get to  lay more than about 10 minutes.  But I was plenty tired by then.  Here's a picture of the soccer field:

Alright, so I had quesadillas that tasted like string cheese today with some Coke, so I decided I could go for some Mountain Dew and string cheese, since that is an expecially good combination.

Today I ate at the BBQ that was put on by all the residence halls (at least the three that are in this one area).  They cooked thin sheets of meat on a grill and then cut it up into little pieces for tacos.  They also had quesadillas, which were made with the cheese that comes in one big ball and you unwrap it (that's what started my craving for string cheese and Mountain Dew).  The good: it was only $4 and I got stuffed; the bad: I had to stand in line for 45 minutes, which made me that much late for an appointment to work on a class project.

Last night we had our dorm welcome meeting.  I didn't understand a whole lot of it, but one thing I found interesting is that residents can smoke in the dorm rooms if their roommate is OK with it.  I don't plan on starting and my roommate doesn't smoke either, so it doesn't matter, but I thought it was pretty weird.  After the meeting we watched a Vin Diesel movie; I think it was called Another Man, but I'm not sure.  They had a projector outside aimed at two sheets on the brick wall, and provided pop and popcorn.

I'm probably going to be on my floor's soccer team, if I can find Julio (the RA) today to let him know I'll be on it.  I'll have to start exercising now I guess. :)
