feed me

i'm having such a hard time waking up at 8am and eating a slice of toast with jelly and then not eating again until 2:30. i'm starving. i'm going to have to ask the senora if she can pack me a bocadillo or something for brunch because this 6 hour waiting game is not working. i need a tapa or something. anything. i feel like i'm either really hungry or totally full over here. our lunches are fairly huge. i'm not lacking for food. but eating a lot of food within a short period of time doesn't last me all day. so by dinner time i usually just eat whatever is put in front of me, regardless (and i can be a pretty picky eater). this isn't usually until 9:30 or so. again, 6-7 hours later. i've got a bag of chips and some white chocolate covered oreos in my room to munch on. the chips are so greasy and uck. i feel disgusting after i eat them. the oreos are fabulous but they don't sustain. i guess i should figure this out. in the meantime i'll just listen to the rumbles of my stomach and pray the senora comes around in a minute yelling "almuerzo". one of my favorite words here in spain. that and siesta. it's a tight race for first place. chupito follows closely in third.
