Hmm... let's see...

All is well here! Tommorrow will mark 2 weeks here although it feels like I've been here much longer. I have been eating a lot of good food here (dulce de leche, a of pan, dedede, and empanadas to name some of my favorites) and on Wednesday Hannah (other Exchange student in my school from Ithaca and also from the 7170 district back home) and I signed up for a month of spinning at the fitness center. The first day we did this class we did the treadmills for a half hour before the class and we were totally beat after spinning! But this class is the only reassurance that I will not gain too much weight this year. Hopefully by the end of the month I will be a pro and I will not have to cut back too much on the delicious food here!

Hmm let's see...nothing too new here...except everything obviously ha but school is good. People are nice even when we can't understand each other. Today I walked to school and home. I turned on the wrong road coming home but soon realized it and my friend walked with me the house. She is really nice and I wish I could remember names! ha I'm sure I will eventually! :) OOO I finally got my whole uniform...except the dress which I am supposed to wear on mondays and to special events. I am going to try to post some pictures so hopefully it works :) Actually I will post them as soon as I can find the cord for my camera:)

First day of school!

School today was scary at first of course, but everyone was extremely friendly :) I got 2 chocolates today from some nice classmates! The first classroom I was in was good. A bit boring though because I did not have books or know much spanish. At 9:30 we went outside at food time and I met some more people. They were really nice too. After going back to my classroom after I went outside and after some confusing chemistry(or maybe physics haha) some girls from the other class came to get me and walk around the school with me. This was a lot of fun and I met a lot of new people. After walking the school a few times I went to the other classroom( the one the girls were from) and this class was a lot of fun! They all asked me many questions and though most of the time I didn't know what they were saying, but I attempted to answer the question aand laughed with them. A lot of people crowded around my desk and wanted to knoweverything about me. The teacher told them they should giive me space but i said they were fine. Overall it was a really good day and I guess they have a website like facebook that they use called Orkut. i now have one of those even though I don't really know how to use it ha. Best sentences that I heard todday: Tu es linda, y tus ojos son bonita :) I Also got asked many times if i liked michael jackson ha i said..hmm la musica de el pero no el hombre. Also, I am now a Olympista haha aka a supporter of one of the Paraguayan futbol teams: Olympia

Getting Ready!

I have started to pack and already with just clothes, I've overpacked. :) I'll have to do that again... these last days have been crazy with all the goodbyes to family, friends, and also trying to fit everything around driver's education. I've managed to fit it all in though and hopefully I can fit in packing and getting ready too. I guess if it weren't for that last minute nothing would get done. But, I'll be ready when Saturday comes around...hopefully...:)
