An Average Week

Me at Inti Rhymi day before I got really sick
We are waiting for 4 hours for the thing to start.




I started with a new group of students in my class this week. Gaile, an older lady from England who is soooo bad at spanish. She can´t pronounce anything. A girl from switzerland named Rahel, and another guy from Philidelphia named Ryan. My group is good because they are not very good at Spanish and it makes me look good. Maybe I will get a better grade this week because of it. That would be sweet. I haven´t done much in the last couple days except for shopping around for gifts and sleeping a lot. I´ve been sleeping between 3 and 6 extra hours a day, plus the 8 or 9 at night. My body is almost done with this cold. I dont cough at night anymore and I am not going through as many kleanex. We had popcorn with the family today which was AMAZING. It reminded me of the popcorn we have at home all the time. I´m learning how to speak in the past tense this week. It´s kind of hard, but good. I am also going to take two classes a day, meaning 8 hours of spanish class a day. I think I might go crazy taking this much Spanish. I am hoping it will help with my fluency. Its the fourth of July tomorrow and it really makes me homesick, I never get homesick, but this is doing it. It´s probably my favorite time of the year. I am missing fireworks and good summer food. I have been craving pizza, salad, and pasta lately. Its just not good here. Enjoy some more pictures.







Love you All,
Mary
