Maybe....

Today was good. Wednesday we only have two hours of class. Sadly one of the is an upper level Spanish in which I have no idea what is going on. Thankfully I have 2 other AFSers in my classes and one of them is from Mexico. There's 7 of us total and 5 of us who all speak English all hangout together. Two of them speak both English and French very well. They are godsends. There is also another girl a year ahead who went to Russia and speaks near perfect English she's pretty awesome too.  My liaison is great and my family is as well. I really miss my dad. I think it's because it's just me and him and I kinda feel like I've abandoned him, also because I'm totally a daddy's girl. I need American lined paper now. Here it's all grided and busy and I hate it. They eat a lot here but I never can finish anything. The clock rings at the hour and then 5 past. Tradition. I'm hoping this becomes easier as can understand the language. The kids at school are very quiet. They say it's because they don't speak English but I'm not so sure. Spanish first thing tomorrow. We go to school from 8-6 with 1-2 hour breaks. It's not ideal but it's ok. I miss really stupid things. My bed, my bathroom, American food, ice, being able to drive places. I would kill for a bacon cheeseburger and old bay fries from this little place called Rosie's near my house in America. I have fully come to the conclusions that America needs to stress language learning, and get on the metric system.  The representation of American music is all crappy pop. No rock, folk, not even country. It's kinda sad. Oh well. Au revoir.

  1. Hey Katelin. This is the third attempt I am making to comment. Stupid technology. Anyway, glad to hear that you had a better day. My mom just stuck her paws in the air and growled. Should I be scared?!? I find it ironic that you have an upper level of Spanish class (lo siento). Just don't forget about the one, The Only, GOOGLE TRANSLATE. It will be your BFF. Other than me of course. Haha. I ate American food for dinner tonight. YUM! Haha. Matt wants to know if the school food over there is better than the cooked dog poop the government is feeding us over here. Haha. Prayer group is small, and now kind of droll now that the life of the party is gone. Haha. Had a REALLY bad storm blow over tents and tables etc at Cherry Crest on Saturday. Anyway. Dad says hi. And just think of me on Wednesdays while I'm doing Workout Wednesday and you are sitting in school for only two hours!!! I am SOOOOO JEALOUS. Please let me know if you are reading these comments by commenting on my comment. :) I want to hear from you.
