January 29 again

1-29 #2
I asked my señora if it would be ok if I read in the living room. She said that the living room isn’t for reading, only for TV, because the light is really bad. I know it’s ok because there’s a lamp in there that I was reading by the other day. But she said the light is better in my room and this is where they always go to read when I’m not here. That didn’t exactly answer the matter of whether or not I was allowed in the living room, but she didn’t say specifically that I shouldn’t be in there at all. So maybe I misunderstood about the living room being just for them. I wish I knew more Spanish so this wouldn’t involve so much guesswork. If they’re watching TV tonight I’ll probably ask if I can watch with them and that should hopefully answer it once and for all. The only other circumstance I can think of is that I would be watching it without them, and I don’t think that’ll ever happen. Rosaura has made it very clear that she hates TV unless it’s the news or debates or stuff like that. I think if I watched something else in her house she might flip. Maybe I should put on the most ridiculous, offensive show I can find the next time she comes home. Just kidding; I’m not that mean. I had another longish talk about her sewing and TV, and then they told me that the metro stop where we’re supposed to meet tomorrow to go to Toledo no longer has a bus stop. I called Patricia and she’s checking online and is going to call me back. That would have sucked if we all got there and then had to go somewhere else instead. But anyway, I’m feeling like things are pretty good with the family right now. We’ll see what happens.
I can’t believe I haven’t even been here a week. Four months seems endless. School needs to start soon. I can’t believe I’m saying that.

PS. I have re-come to the conclusion that Brahms is amazing. Whoever said that German was ugly clearly never heard the German Requiem. Incredible!
