Well, my new roommate is from Tennessee, is 24, AND is gay! Menos mal. He worked here last year. That's good to know because he's even more obviously gay than I am....so it seems that I won't have to worry about this Catholic school after all. I was slightly concerned since it is a Catholic school..........well I guess you can imagine.
The other good thing about this is now I can share a cab with someone when I want to go out instead of taking the bus (which I already don't love to do). The bus always gets really crowded. To get off of the bus, you just stand in the back door and either scream "BAJA" or you loudly tap twice right above the back door. Then, the bus driver stops immediately on whichever corner he happens to be at. I guess this is convenient in the sense that you don't have to wait for any predetermined bus stops! The same goes for getting on--you just wave the driver down and he normally will stop anyway to let you on...and that doesn't really mean that he will completely stop --ROLLING STOPS. I almost fell out of the bus trying to get on yesterday. Well, it wasn't so dramatic, but it did feel like I was going to for a split second.
Wow, after writing this, it looks like I'm glad I have a roommate only because I want to ride the bus less!
In another note, the school is absolutely beautiful and huge. It seems very organized. However, I get a sense that the children will be about the same as they were in NYC, except that unlike NYC, they won't be able to curse at me! SO I guess that's not so bad.
Hasta la proxima.
