Estoy Aqui!

Im here! And this keyboard is weird, so please disregard my non use of symbols. I had to ask the girl next to me how to use the @ symbol...you have to press alt plus 6 plus 4. weird. i took my placement test yesterday and met my family! im not sure if got in the late beginner class or early intermediate. im going to attempt to write my paper in spanish though.

my family is wonderful. there is a mom, linette, a dad, helberth, and only one of their two daughters lives with them, her name is pamela and she is 23. and not very talkative. lol. when we got home they gave us cake and juice, and we sat and tried to talk for about an hour. my spanish is not what it was before, but i think it will warm up with time. my roomate speaks a little better than i do and laughs when i make mistakes, but i still want to try to speak even if i do mess up. shes really shy so i think she would rather not make mistakes and just communicate a little less. oh, i have my own room! such a surprise, but im pretty happy about it. i have no problem with sharing, but this way it will be so much easier to spend time with the Lord and in prayer. I let Sara pick which room she wanted and she took the nicer one, but thats fine with me. I realized that my room has a mirror which im thankful for. it just makes it easier to get ready in the morning without takin up so much time in the bano! lol.

last night we went to the mall with linette and pamela, and then they took us to a family birthday party! it was so much fun even though our communication was limited. one guy new some english and we helped them learn a few more words. i have learned that pictures speak more than a thousand words because i tell people about my family and then i show them the pictures and their eyes get so big! its awesome. there were about 8 2 and 3 year old boys running around yesterday...i plan to win them over next time i see them with some stickers and candy. hehe.

this morning we learned how to use the bus with linette, she took us to the school and back and then we decided to try it by ourselves. its less than 50 cents to take the bus which is so nice, and on our way to the stop we ran into 2 other girls from our group who live right around the corner and we didnt even know it! So they came with us to the school and now we are at Mall San Pedro using the cyber cafe. We tried some ice cream from the most popular place...its called Pops...and it was delicious. I am going to put my camera cord in my purse so next time I come I can upload pictures since I keep forgetting.

You guys are slacking on the comments! hehe. My sunburn is going away, its only bad right where my strap was. other than that im just tan...well starting to get tan. well, hasta luego...someone let me know whats going on at home!

oh my email is browneyedgrl88@comcast.net if you dont have it and want it. besitos!
