Settled in

Now that we have been here for a couple of days things are getting much easier. I learned how to get to the school and back all by myself the first day- this was huge for me because i still dont know my way around pella all that well. Carmen my host mom still makes great meals, but tonight her friend conchi made pizza for us, and it was amazing!!! Two nights ago like 15 girls in our program, caitlin and I all went out to get to know eachother. The other girls didn´t know their way around the city yet and i´ve been here since thursday so i got to lead the pack around. The girls were all very nice and it was just fun to get to know some of them before we started classes with them. Yesterday morning caitlin asked me if her blowdryer and straightener would work with the converter in the outlet and i said... hmmm i don´t know- my straightener broke when i tried to in highschool but you can try it! she held up the plug in and said ¨well! momment of truth!¨and then plugged it in. As she plugged it in, the lights went out hahahaha. she had to go tell mama carmen that she blew a fuse! last night we all went out again with some different friends than before. our host mom asked if they were the same kids as before and i said no, different ones, we are just so popular! she thought this was pretttty funny. we didn´t get back until 5 o clock in the morning!!!! we didnt have class today until one though so i was going to sleep in. at 8 am i hear, buenos dias chicas!!! chicas, a que hora tienes las clases. I was so out of it i couldnt respond, and caitlin mummbled one! she laughed came and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek and said ¨dios mio¨which is like o my gosh!!! then she pulled the blinds and we went back to bed! when we got up we showered and ate breakfast that she made for us. this all sounds great except for the fact that caitlin didn´t bring a towel and i only brought one, so we have been sharing the same towel since friday... we need to either wash it or buy some tom. haha just kidding, we want to buy some but we can´t find any! we are going to search again tomorrow. Another really funny story, today in class we got these sheets in spanish that had different things on them like ´has animals, or has only sisters´and then we make our own question and have to go find people in our class that match that discription. My friend chris was like´why did the teacher give me a weird look after she read mine? I read his question and it was ¨who lives in a pinaple under the sea¨´ looked at him and said... spunge bob square pants_???? and laughed and laughed. he misunderstood the assignment and thought it was just who questions and other people had to answer them.

Oh and next weekend we go to Moroco!!!!! i dont know who to spell it, but we go next weekend!!! I am so excited!!!!
