Well...as if I didn't stand out enough as being the person who can't speak Spanish, today I decided to wear shorts. I don't have class on Fridays and it's been a gaillion degrees here, so I figured I would wear shorts and be comfy while I spent the day doing my homework. Well, I needed to go to school to buy a folder-type-thing (I don't know the name of things here because American school supplies do not exist - I'm serious - there is no such thing as a folder or lined paper) and I left the house in my shorts and my hair up on top of my head (still slightly damp from the shower) because I'm curling it for later today.
Mistake!
I got on the metro and everyone just stared at me. Ugh. I hate standing out. So yes, lesson of the day - I'm never wearing shorts again and I have to continue doing my hair even when I'm dead tired so I won't stand out as the lazy, poorly dressed, unable to speak American.
Lovely :)
