Friends..

Well...I have made friends here in this other culture. Some of them speak english, but don´t because they know I want to learn. They are very fun, and simpatico (nice) which to me also means sympathetic because they speak slowly for me, repeat often, and laugh much. I am typing from my school. The administration is letting me use the internet free (usually it costs the students money...tho very little, because the high speed is expensive). Also..this is during class time, but I was told that I dont have to worry much about school for 2 weeks to a month. Yesterday, we only had classes in the morning, and I was with 3B. They were a very fun class, lots of cool people. In the afternoon, I tried to sleep for a bit, but couldn´t. I can feel the effects of my lack of sleep, and hope that this weekend I will be able to catch up. Then i went for a run, and was gone for about an hour (didn´t run the whole time...i am out of shape, but will hopefully be fit as a fiddle when I return). I wrote a letter home, and then some girls from my class came to get me because 3A had a bienvendida fiesta (welcome party) for me last night. The girls house was not far from mine, so we walked there. We started dancing after awhile, and did so for about 2 hours or so. Between the mass amounts of dance and my run....my legs were kinda sore. One of the guys in my class has a car, so he and some others drove me home. Very nice of them!! One of Johanna´s friends was there, so I showed them pics of the fiesta and from home. Then tried to sleep. And now, this morning, I am at school. I just chose my courses until december. My elective is biology and chemistry, because I don´t want to forget that for when I have ¨"killer chem" at guelph. Ugh..haha. My art class is music, where yesterday we sang a lot of english songs. A few of the students know the words, and very few know the meanings of the songs they are singing. They do a good job tho...excellent singers!! Wednesday afternoons, my phys ed class is the one I had on wednesday, when I went to the mountains. We go on excursions. I am quite excited for that class!! I have phys ed this morning...but I did not know that, so I don´t have my clothes. I´ll try to learn more spanish during that time I guess. Well..I´d best be off...chao!
