There are quite a few things that I find myself doing or seeing every day. I decided that because I find it interesting you might as well! So here is my list:
- Eat at least three oranges (or "mandarinas") a day
- Eat bread (or "pan" which resembles a baguette) with every meal
- Drink café con leche with milk that is not refrigerated
- Cough because someone is smoking inside a building (the one thing I absolutely hate)
- Watch "Cuatro" (a popular news channel) that is not censored
- Watch a T.V. show with Carlos, a singing chef, during lunch at 2 p.m.
- Ride the bus into the casco at least four times a day
- See a sign that says "Rebajas" (sales) in every three out of four stores
- Take a siesta
- Tell our dog, Tusca, to "chissss" because she never stops barking
- Say "sí" at least ten times a day even when I actually don't understand what's being said
- Refer to my Spanish/English dictionary (a lot)
- Listen to lovely chirping that isn't from birds but the sound at the crosswalks
- Accidentally misspell an English word or write it in Spanish if I'm not concentrating
- Say "qué," "cómo" or "repite" at least ten times a day when I really don't understand
- Complain about the homework load that isn't even that terrible but sometimes speaking and hearing Spanish 24/7 really gets to you!

Amanda,
I was smiling as I read your list - I'm glad you were smiling as you made it! It's those everyday things that you will look back on with joy, even years from now.
When I was in France, it freaked me out that they didn't refrigerate milk or juice. I feel you, hahah.
