How a Portuguese becomes American

Today I had lunch at 11:30. I know it's terrible and totally against my principles, but I was too hungry.
At school I have a lunch break from 10:30 to 11. Last year I resisted heroically. I would just eat a cereal bar and then have lunch at 2, when classes finished. This year I surrendered to the tyranny of American lunch hours. Every day I happily have lunch at 10:30.
Today I was at home but I couldn't resist, I had lunch at the time I would usually eat breakfast in Portugal...

    A long time ago, when I was a good Mediterranean girl, I used to do the same. Now I am transformed into a northern barbarian.

    Because of my post-grad classes I'm arriving home late and I'm having dinner at 10pm. That's way too spanish for me. I'm having dinner at about the same time you are, despite the 4 hour difference. How cute is that!
