In class...yet again

So, every monday morning is´course orientacion´ which means we do absolutely nothing, so i decided to take the opportunity to fill you in on my goings on over the last few days. So...Thursday night, I had my first Rotary meeting. I got picked up at my house around oh, 9 pm (i told you everything here starts late) and brought to the Club Union, which is the second house built in the city...its huge and gorgeous!! I had been told to wear my school uniform, not Rotary jacket which i was a bit surprised about. But neway, my Rotary counselor just dropped me off because he had to do something else that night. Thankfully, Julia was there!! It was a very special dinner, and everything was very formal. We had appetizers (mini empanadas, which I love by the way!!!) and were offered some alcoholic beverage, but asked for water instead....not breaking the rules! I talked with Julia abit, and then we had a conversation with some of the men (this is a men´s only club, their wives have another organization). I managed pretty well, Julia helping me out a bit. She told me she was jealous of my language ability so soon into the exchange, because she knew nothing when she arrived. Some of the rotarians also complemented me on my spanish/pronunciation. For the meal, we had some awesome fish w/ salsa stuff on top and rice seasoned with...i dunno, but it was really good. Kinda reminded me of home food, cept I wouldn´t have eaten fish at home!! For dessert, we had something else that was kinda creamyish and super hard to describe, but on the top there was cookies shaped like butterflies!!! The meeting ended at about 11 40, which Julia said was actually early..... The president took me home at about 12, and we talked abit in the car. he is really nice! At home, I said hi to everyone and then wrote in my journal before going to sleep at 1 am. Intense!! I have to go back to class....more later!
