-4? -5? what day is it again?

If my days keep up like this i'm going to be dead by the end of the month! Well, guess you can say I've accomplished more in the past 4 or 5 days than i did all last semester! (oops. i forgot my dad might be reading this too!) haha. okay well that's partially a joke. But just to say that i've been doing so much (school for the most part) since ive been here that i havnt been sitting around and doing nothing just about EVER like i do at home, which of course doesn't surprise me, and is definitely to my likings. Maybe when i come back home I won't be as lazy anymore! Or wait. Which home are we talking about? By the time I come back I'm going to have one more place to add to the list of places I can call "home"! Wonderful right?!

Well, I have definitely been blessed, for many things in my life, but in this case for having the opportunity to do something like this. I expect that by the time I return to the states I will have learned so many things, ideas, lifestyles, cultural differences, developed new personal characteristics, etc. that I can't imagine I will be the same person! Guess we'll see.

So today started at 6:30am. (They're killin me w these early wake-ups!) Ate breakfast (pineapple, OJ, bread and jelly) made a sandwich for lunch and went to class. after class ended at 12, went to a meeting, only to return to class again until 3! (Dad-you'll be happy to know that attendance is MANDATORY, and if we miss more than ONE class in each course, we will fail it. maaaaannnn! :-P) Well, after class I told a bunch of people to get up at 3:30 to come out and play soccer. Only 2 guys showed up. No big deal. We juggled for a while til 3 little boys came on the courts playing around (when i say little i mean little....11 year olds.) We were about to go home but decided to invite them to play. They agreed. We split the teams (as best we could with 3 adults and 3 kids) and played for a little bit. I'll tell you - the latino kids i think started playing soccer while they were still in their mama's tummy. I think God didn't want them to be bored so He let them play with some sort of organ that is shaped like a soccer ball. Maybe that's what the kicking really is in the mother's tummy! Who knows ;)

All in all, including the walk to and from my house to change to the school to the courts back home, was about 2 hours (its about 10 minutes walk, so we played for a good hour and a half)

Now, I am SUPER SUPER SUPER exhausted, just showered, about to eat dinner, and then ... well, going to go out for a little bit with some friends, even though i am SOOO tired! It will be my first night out and I really want to go out with friends. So we're going to go by taxi into a part of the city for a little bit, and most likely come back early so i can wake up on time for my 8am class (Dad - you should also know that 3 tardies = 1 absense so we can't really be late either. Want me to stay another semester cuz of their "awesome" rules? hahaha) Well, its dinner time, as I always end these things...so i have to go.

Hasta luego
