The first day of class
We woke up at 8:00 this morning and had plenty of time to relax and get ready for the day. Class started at 10:30 this morning and we headed to school after eating breakfast with our host dad. This morning we had cereal and fruit. They had special K, apples, bananas, and mango. She prepares all of the meals to accomodate to our American taste buds with a little bit of Mexican flare. We went to school and Kara went up one more flight of stairs for her class. I am taking spanish conversation. My teacher from MTSU is my teacher at the KIIS center aka our school. We had an hour of class, a 30 minute break, and one more hour of class. It was a very quick and informative class and I feel like I am going to learn a lot on this trip. I have really enjoyed living with a host family because they are extremely helpful with our conversation skills. After class I went to the internet cafe beside the school to talk to my family and my boyfriend on skype. I got to the internet cafe and found out that I was not able to download skype to the computer which was a big disappointment. I got on facebook and was able to chat with my mom, Matt (my boyfriend), and my cousin Autumn. It was so nice to talk to them, even though it was only on chat. It´s really difficult to adjust to not speaking to the people that I´m used to seeing every day. I am making a lot of new friends and really enjoy my experience in Mexico, but I wish I could talk to or see my family and boyfriend back home. We had lunch with our host family after leaving the internet cafe. She prepared pork chops, salad, potatoes, and soup. It was all very delicious. Kara and I walked back to the school because a bunch of the students wanted to go hang out at a cafe and get snacks and coffee and talk about our families. We´re waiting on one more of our friends and then we are going to a popular cafe in Morelia. After that we are going back to the house for dinner and then I have to finish my homework. I will have about 45 minutes of reading homework everyday for my spanish class. Until tomorrow. Hasta luego.
