Early Mornings Call for Blog Posts




So here it is 5:00 am and I cannot sleep. Not that I am restless only my body is still lost in some sort of time translation. I laid in my bed half awake as my upper eyelashes tickled my lower eyelids and my little tummy growled feed me. I must say, and obviously, the Golden Grams and computer on my desk sounded much more appealing than fighting with my body for an extra 30 minutes of sleep. I may regret my decision tomorrow morning during my Czech lesson in class but I have done much of my college career on less sleep than this so I think I will be fine.

You will all be glad to know that I have found my way to the grocery store during open hours. Needless to say I am eating much more than bread and cheese these last couple of days… wahoo!! Although, I will say in relation to food here I have come across some oddities. So the Golden Grams that accompany me right now are dry and let me tell you there is a good reason for this… that's the best way to eat them!! But seriously what I was getting at… so the milk here is so extensively pasteurized that it only needs to be kept at a luke warm temperature if even cold at all!!! They sell some of their milk on the dry shelves… blah. A friend of mine Wes Morgan once told me a quite gnarly story that involved milk and it’s processing. Needless to say milk and I still have some issues so seeing it on the dry shelf is truly going to be an obstacle. However, I did buy milk but I’ve been debating that first glass. Plus with all my recent cheese consumption and the added yogurt to my diet I don’t think I am lacking on my dairy. No Osteoporosis for this lady! I mean seriously, my favorite food is cheese! That would be like the lady who loved her some oranges and lemonade dying from Scurvy… just aint gonna happen.

So we teach our first lesson tomorrow and it’s only the 3rd day. I will be teaching a board game and introducing the gerund (the ings) and infinitive ways to construct sentences. I am pretty excited. We were exposed to a little bit of teaching yesterday and it can be quite rewarding… especially when you’re students are so eager to learn. Wish me luck!

I will write more when I don’t have to wake up in 1.5 hours. I hope you all enjoyed my last post. I also hope you all received all the disclaimers… well the one about my room. If some of you are having trouble believing me hit me up and I will get you a fresh shot of my room, as is. If that isn’t candid enough for you catch me off guard on aim/ichat: suprdawl or skype: nstegman. Oh and be tuned in for some more sweet videos. My friend Aaron and I are doing a little Kanye gone international via Aaron and Natalie… stay tuned…. it will be bad ass and that is a promise from Aaron and I. Aaron I hope you like that I just made a public promise for you. ;) go team! Oh and if anyone can google locate the apple store here in Barcelona I will give you mad props... good luck!

Besos y hasta el poste siguiente
Senorita Natalie ☺

Oh and I have included some drawings I did last night… I hope to make it to the art store this weekend to get some bigger paper. As well as I hope to get some architectural drawings in soon! Oh and picture two is lacking on the shading... sorry bed time called before I finished.... which it probably wouldn't have been a big deal if I had I stayed up to finish the drawing. Egh hindsight. Night, Kisses!
