In general, what was it like being an Aztec in Tenochtitlan in the decades following Cortes' conquest?

Some more specific questions (feel free to address any or all, or some that I couldn't think of):

Would the people of native descent still call themselves Aztecs?

How well were they integrating into Spanish society?

What were the things they disliked most? Were there any things they liked better?

What did they understand or blame regarding disease?

How did they balance their religious views with the new Christian views?

It seems like the whole world changed for them relatively quickly, and I'm curious to know if they resisted it, accepted it, or faked compliance while nurturing their old ways of life.
