Before I went to Spain I was a very picky eater. I would eat the foods I knew I liked, and I never really eat outside of the bun box.
In Spain, I lived in a homestay with a Spanish family. They were fantastic, but knew little English.. which wasn't too big of a dilemma because I can converse well in Spanish. However, sometimes my Spanish mom would go on rants at lunch time and in order to understand Spanish, I would have to pay a lot of attention to what she was saying. Sometimes my mind just wanted to relax, think about other things..
So as she rambled on, I just sat there nodding and eating and thinking about my own things.
However, often times she would talk about what we were eating, which means I would miss out on what food I was consuming. This caused me to be not as picky, and just eat what was in front of me and try new things.
It was good! Because now I'm not very picky when it comes to food.
and I need to stop!
I got a drink from Starbucks a bit ago, and because it looked weird, I wasn't to keen on drinking it.
But who cares! I should definitely not!
At least I have the ability to order and buy a Starbucks drink.
I need to be more thankful (and reread my previous blog post).
Moral of this blog post... Don't be picky! Just enjoy the fact that you have food to eat and drinks to slurp down.
Anyways,
back to studying.
Love love love.

exception: not a fan of chili.
I've noticed lately that my "picky" tendencies are coming back though. and I need to stop!
