First day of school!

Today we had our first day of class and it was really nice to hear some slow easy spanish for once! We went around the room of people, being asked random questions. I guess they are trying to see where our spanish skills are so they can place us in a certain group by wednesday- i can easily say that I will be in the begginner group :)

Then we went out for lunch in Jinotepe on our own and I ate normal food for once! i mean the normal food they have here :) but I didn´t have too much! whoever said that I will probably gain weight this summer is eating their words right now!

Then in the afternoon about 1 o clock we had our first lecture. Let´s just say that history is not my favorite subject so it was hard to follow the loads of information our speaker gave us today on Nicaraguan history.

Then after that me and bethany, John, Casey, Naomi, and Gina all visited each other´s houses. we walked around for a good hour and a half or so...let´s just say it doesn´t take very long to get across town! we lost jonna along the way, she was supposed to meet us at the clock but never showed and my family said they told her to go to bethany´s house but she never went there. so we aren´t really sure where she ended up but she was with her papa. so we didn´t worry too long :)

Then we all parted and have been hitting up the cyber cafes...i tried calling jordan but according to Tim Blaum he is working out...so i´m hoping that by the time I am done on the comp he will answer his phone :)

calling the united states is really cheap here! like one cent in a minute in american dollars. which you would be about .025 cordabas if you were interested.

but i had my first break through with spanish when i cam home from class today! John and I actually understood what my parents said! we both jumped up and down after we left my house! my family likes to slur their words and is hard to understand! well i have to figure out if i can get more minutes here...until then adio!
