Lo que he comido

As most of you know, I am somewhat particular in what I like to eat, so I thought you might be curious as to how I'm adjusting to the food here. My first day was a rather hungry one...I arrived at around 7am in the airport, and I had nothing to eat until maybe 12 when my senora made sandwiches for my roommate and me. She was so nice! But the sandwiches were kind of hard to eat...the bread was some hard/crunchy kind, so it kept breaking which made eating slighty awkward and messy, but she didn't seem to mind. I also kind just had to suck it up and eat a bunch of ingredients that I normally wouldn't: tons of mayo, tomatoes, and maybe some other things? There was tuna in it too, which was good because it was something familiar that I liked. There was also some sliced hard-boiled egg which I tried to eat, but in the end I just left. After that, my roommate and I met up with other students for a late lunch at a place called VIPs which is a chain which serves americanish food. I got some kind of club sandwich, and even though I asked for it without mayo or tomatoes, they didn't listen haha. So that was kind of hard to eat too...but the fries were good :)) Then for dinner that day, my senora made quiche and garbonzo soup with chicken. The soup was just what I needed - something chickeny without too much else...it was kind of like chicken noodle soup but with garbonzo beans instead of noodles. Very comfort food-like. And the quiche was not as scary as I thought it would be. Then for dessert I had an orange. So dinner was a success! Breakfast this morning was also delicious. The breakfasts here are usually pretty light, but still really good. She served us cereal (I had these like chocolate filled squares), some pieces of bread with butter and jam, and a cup of chocolate. It was literally like melted chocolate - super thick, but it was pretty good! Bien rico. But she said it's not something you eat every day otherwise you get fat haha. So that was my first 24 hours of food! I have since had another dinner, but I need to go to bed now as tomorrow is the first day of class! Oh my!
