Gordito! Bonito!

That's right. Fat and beautiful.

First fat:

There is no such thing as politically correct in the Dor. Nope, if you are the darkest in your family you're "el negro" and if you're the fattest, well you're "el gordo". Mi mama and the rest of the family call Papa, Gordo (Fatty) and Donato, Gordito (Little Fatty). So this is how a conversation might go:

Mama: Come here little fatty. Hey fatty, bring little fatty here please.

Ok, so that wasn't really a conversation, but you get the gist. Give me a break fatty.

Now beautiful:

UNC is the most beautiful school in the States, of this I am convinced. But, USFQ may just be the most beautiful school in the world. There's a waterfall and mountains surrounding it and all of the buildings are really beautiful. We had orientation today (including a diversity talk that rivals UNC's for most boring...did you know people are different? GASP!) and I got to meet a bunch of other internationals, so now I have friends. Ha. Didn't know I had it in me did ya?

Also, here's a shout out to all the moms out there who are or have ever been covered in slobber and always smelling of poop. (welcome to life with gordito.) I salute you.
